We send out our deepest THANKS to Your many kind contributions, we have been taking Basic Health Supplies to the Clinic at Porcupine, on Pine Ridge Reservation. The Reservation is Home to 30,000 Native Americans. Those Natives live in 3,000 houses; half of which lack electricity and/or plumbing!!! Life Expectancy for the Natives on that Reservation is about 50 years. 60% of those 40 years or older suffer from some form of Diabetes. Health Care is Vital…and Vitally Lacking !!
“Project 365” was designed to draw attention to the Plight of Native Americans on Reservations. Its Hope is to Unite the Many People who find Devils Tower as Sacred, in aiding those Native Americans. His Goal in “Project 365” is to climb on Devils Tower Every Day for a Year, and to determine how many Tower Summits and Climbing Partners can occur along the way!!! Currently, with the Project drawing to a close,
he has succeeded in climbing on the Tower, Everyday (except for 5 days when his back was out), Topping the Tower 360+ times and sharing the Adventures with more than 200 partners !! With 3 New Routes Established along the Way.
