Like climbing mountains

One of my good friends is Dr. Lance Fox. Lance is a veterinarian that works for Alpharma Animal Health, and last spring he summitted Mt. Everest. He did this despite having only started climbing three years ago. He did it to honor his Dad, spreading his ashes at the top of the World. He set a goal, identified his dream, then worked hard to make it happen. It's not like he had a simple dream - he decided to climb Mt. freakin' Everest. Course it's not like he's done a triathlong - but he's an inspiration to me.

He's a little crazy - like taking a cheesehead to the top of the mountain. And he dewormed yaks on the way up.

Here's one of his quotes:

"Dream Big, Pursue Your Passion, Smile Often and Laugh A Lot. Life Is Short So Live It To The Fullest!" - Lance Fox, 2009

Here's a video about a program Lance is working on to take this positive message out to kids.
