Hello from the top of Denali. We were lucky today and the mountain let us to the tip top. We are all doing fantastically well, the weather is just about perfect and we will soon start our descent. But we just wanted to check in, we will enjoy the views for a little bit longer, but the team has done great, everyone worked super hard. I'm quite proud of all of them. We will give you a shout from the lowlands. Take care all.

Way to go team! What an accomplishment! Mattie, I am so thrilled for you! I pray now for your team to continue down the mountain with the same wisdom and strength and caution that it took to ascend the mountain. Continue with strong team work, the task is not complete yet! Bud meant to say that he was buying steak at Manny’s for the whole family when you get down! Love and prayers-Jodi
