Cancer Survivor Summits Mount Everest

Receiving his last of many cancer surgeries on December 17, 2007, George LaMoureaux asked me, in late January 2008, if there was another option besides the radiation or chemo therapy his doctors suggested. He felt that if he went through either course his body would be too physically drained to climb Mount Everest as scheduled. We worked together to get his body into shape for the climb. He ate four meals a day at Organic Oasis with a supplement regimen, and managed to gain enough weight and stamina back before he left on March 17, 2008 for Everest.

He brought along 200 1/4lb trail bars of a special seed, nut & mineral combination named the "Everest Recovery Bar." George LaMoureaux summited Mount Everest on May 21, 2008 - a testament to Organic Oasis nutritional programs. Check out his expedition at peakfreaks.com and his non-profit A Child is Missing or Climb for America's Children - the real cause for his climb.

Today we would like to introduce the eldest member of our team - George LaMoureaux 51 years old, a realtor and cartoonist from Anchorage, Alaska. George's mission for climbing Everest is for the purpose of filming "The First National Missing Children's Telethon" going from the "Coldest Mountain on the Planet" (Denali) to the "Tallest Mountain on the Planet" (Everest) and back to the "Studio Audience, Lost and Found Children, Law Enforcement, Supporters and Celebrities Endorsements along with Film Shorts for Peak Freaks" Scott Mortensen, Tim Rippel and sherpa supporters will be behind the camera.

LaMoureaux has been on a seven year mission to help find children is also fighting another battle; as a "Recent Cancer Survivor" that has had five Cancer Surgeries in the last two months and is on a “Customized All Natural Nutritional Recovery Program” for pre-climb, during the climb and post climb of Everest from sponsor Steve Plante’, owner of the Organic Oasis. “This program will strengthen LaMoureaux’s immune system and create the strength to climb Mt. Everest” said, Plante’. LaMoureaux, also received substantial recognition and support from the Lance Armstrong Foundation for inspiring and empowering people effected by cancer

LaMoureaux, who summited the 20,320 ft. peak of Denali in 2002, which was filmed by a FOX / Olympics Camera Crew, where he and his team went up Denali with only 17 days of food, because of bad weather conditions stayed for 31, consequently half the team turned around and went home, but LaMoureaux stayed until the other half of the team summited, which will be a part of the broadcast event. Good luck George! there are many prayers coming your way.
