“Some people believe that the mountain of fear, distrust and intolerance that is often based on race and religion can't be overcome. Our Everest Climb for Peace will provide the world with inspirational stories, pictures and video which portray courage, friendship and teamwork under some of the most extreme conditions. We'll show the mountain can be conquered, and we'll climb it together.”
Lance Trumbull

George Bernard Shaw
“Intolerance betrays want of faith in one's cause”
Mahatma Gandhi
