Mat's Quest....
OK.... So what is this "Quest" all about? In December of 2007, I made the decision to change the direction of my life. More importantly the direction of my health. I spent many years of my life well over three hundred pounds and, most over four hundred pounds. March 10th, 2008, I underwent a surgical procedure called the "Gastric sleeve". In the following twelve months, through lifestyle change, exercise, determination, and the support of my family, and friends, I have lost two-hundred and forty pounds. After my jorney to Nepal, Everest Base Camp, and climbing Imja Tse, what is next? ***Just in.... This years Quest has changed "Again!" My son Trey has been ask to participate in a study abroad program in March of 2011. We will be traveling to Munich, Germany, and Salzburg and Vienna, Austria. Right now I am trying to coordinate staying in Europe for a few weeks to climb Mt Blanc. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity for Trey, and he has worked really hard to earn this opportunity, (Only eight sixth graders we invited!) so this has to be my focus right now. We are currently raising money to fund this trip.*** Keep up with the blog to see our progress.
Here is the link to my web album from the first "Quest!" From Oklahoma City to New York City. From New York to Kathmandu, Nepal. From Kathmandu to Mt Everest. From Everest to Imja Tse. From Imja Tse back to Kathmandu. Finely my return to Oklahoma City!
