Everest North Side Expedition:  Adventure Peaks

 Current Tibet Date/Time

CONAN WAS CLIMBING EVEREST FOR CHARITY: Conan and Dave will be home Tuesday 3rd June. Once again many thanks to all those involved in Conan's rescue. Thanks for all the emails and phone calls from all over the world enquiring about Conan. The amount of courage he himself showed in his rescue proved to me that he DID summit Everest.

I do not Know if anyone knew that Conan was climbing Everest for charity. This was for research into Motor Neurone Disease(MND)also known as Lou Guerrin Syndrome. This is the disease Conans' father died from in May 1988(15 years ago). There is no known cure for MND and most sufferers die within years (his dad in 13 months) The motor nerves of the brain and spinal cord die resulting in total paralysis, the person cannot move, speak or swallow food and drink. It is a most terrible disease. Both Conan and his dad showed great courage.

I hope that you do not think that I am being too cheeky but I was wondering if anyone would like to sponsor Conan? Conans attempt on Everest was totally self financing and any money he received went to MNDA.

If you wish to please send cheques made payable to MNDA with a note mentioning Conans name. The address to send it to is:-
Motor Neurone Disease Association
David Niven House
