Hi Paul & Fiona,
Wow, how very impressive. You can’t get encouragement from anybody bigger than the PM of Australia. I like how he addressed it “Camp 2, Mount Everest”, I can’t imagine that there is a mailbox up there!
Good luck – we are anxiously checking for updates all the time.

Howdy you two,
Following your climb on this site, it strikes me that since I’ve known you both (which is a while now – we must be getting old!), you have always set your goals high and worked towards them with extraordinary levels of commitment and determination. I can visualise the “I think I can” looks on your faces now (although I’m having trouble adding in the oxygen masks!) as you close in on the biggest, most significant goal yet.
Thinking of you, praying for you, wishing success for you both.
Not far now. One foot in front of the other. God speed.
Love, Kyna, Mal, Jemimah and wee Matilda.

Great too see that in less than 24 hours your dreams will be finally realised. Can’t wait for the update tomorrow. You will both be in our thoughts, all the best.
