“I remember getting to Everest Base Camp with Cherie and Karma, her Sherpa co-guide on a cold afternoon. The scenery was desolate. I had reached my goal. Cherie is a great guide. My goal had become her goal. She grabbed me and cried. She said, “YOU DID IT.”
I have to say that if not for Cherie Horne I would never have started and would never have reached Everest Base Camp let alone enjoyed the journey. She was with me from the day I met her 2 years ago…through training and on the trip. If not for her I would not have experienced one of the most interesting, challenging and life changing experiences of my life. I will always be grateful to her for her support, inspiration and confidence in me to complete my journey to Everest Base Camp. She is a remarkable knowledgeable person with a big heart. When I came home the best thing happened. I have very young kids. My kids said to me, “Dad we are proud of you.”
That is what Cherie did for me.
Thank You.
PS. I am 66 years old and 4 years ago I had a quadruple bypass.”
