Team Summit 4 Stem Cell in great spirits with beautiful weather at 15,000 feet in Dughla

Hello there friends, family, and loved ones, this is Team Summit 4 Stem Cell.org calling in from 15,000 feet above sea level in wonderful downtown Dughla.

We have a great day coming up here and people are doing well, despite the fact that it’s getting colder and that we’re losing oxygen as we gain altitude but people are in great spirits and we’re looking forward to heading up even higher tomorrow.

The weather has been clear and basically without clouds in the morning it’s beautiful. The full moon just passed the other day and we’re all stoked.

So find out what we’re going to do tomorrow when you tune in, same station, same time. Ta ta for now!
