00:00I can't believe it's been 10 years.
00:15It's like incredible what we've created.
00:20I think there's a huge opportunity as we come to our 10th edition of Climbing for Romp to
00:26make a really powerful statement.
00:30Your mountain, your Mount Everest could be just something as simple as like getting up
00:36and going to your kitchen to make coffee in the morning.
00:39And we want to like honor where everyone's at in their mobility journey and so it doesn't
00:45have to be about climbing 19,000 foot, 20,000 foot peaks.
00:49It's just how we're symbolizing this idea of like what everyone's mountain is.
01:02People with the right prosthetic care can do incredible things.
01:05Yeah, I think we can make a lot of noise with the 10th edition of Climbing for Romp and
01:11through that elevates the partners, the companies, the individuals that come alongside us and
01:18get in front of the world and draw some real attention and remind people that, you know,
01:23this is like, in a sense, kind of going to the moon.
01:27The goal of Climbing for Romp is like connecting humans, being present in the mountains, like
01:32experiencing all that, and then obviously impacting a lot of people because of our experience
01:36together.
01:37So for the 10th annual, I want to do something big.
01:48We can convert the 10th edition of Climbing for Romp into the place where massive amounts
01:55of resources come and then we're going to take that and we're going to bring Romp to
02:00a new country.
02:02We're going to take Romp into the farthest corners of remote parts of Ecuador, Guatemala,
02:07and beyond.
02:08We're going to change thousands and thousands of lives.
02:11We can set up this organization to make profound change for tens of thousands of amputees in
02:18the coming years.
