March
21st, 2002: Martine Larroque started her journey
to Mt. Everest today early morning. She decided to
summit Mount Everest to support Médecins Sans
Frontières (MSF) and raising fund for needy. MSF
teams around the world face incredible challenges
every day trying to provide emergency medical aid
wherever it is needed, regardless of race, religon,
politics or sex. MSF received the Nobel Peace Prize
in 1999 for it's humanitarian relief work in over 80
countries worldwide. Martine's determination to
bring MSF to the attention of the community and her
ascent of Everest make a perfect match. Martine
Larroque
