Climb to Conquer Cancer

Top Picture:
At the national pageant in Chicago one of the quotes that became a motivational theme for the contestants was: "You don't know my life!" A motto that comes in handy when others question why you do what you choose to do. Mrs. Idaho International 2008 Brenda Mee is wearing the t-shirt sporting that motto prior to the Climb to Conquer Cancer. The t-shirt was a surprise gift she received in the mail from the newly crowned Mrs. International, Laine Berry.

I was very excited to be invited to join Miss Idaho International's "Climb to Conquer Cancer" fundraiser. I thought it would be a great way to raise money and awareness for The American Cancer Society. I also thought "what the heck...it will be a fun way to get my cardio workout for the day." Imagine my surprise when I crossed the finish line and was congratulated by Congressman Mike Simpson for being the FIRST to finish the climb!!!

Miss Idaho International 2008 Lisa Hamman organized a team to raise money and participate in the annual American Cancer Society's "Climb to Conquer Cancer." It is a strenuous roundtrip climb from the historic prison to the the top of Table Rock Hill to the cross and back. Prior to the climb Lisa did an interview on the radio (KIZN) with Mrs. Idaho International 2008 Brenda Mee and her co-host (hubby!) Kevin.
