You Vote – I Write

Facebook Friends, please excuse the cross-posting. But if you have not voted, here is another reminder! :)

I’ve submitted a proposal to an online magazine, Winners Within Us, to write an article about my friends, and local (to Boulder) climbers/guides/mountaineers, Brad Clement and Tonya Riggs Clement.

They are a married couple who met while climbing Mt. Everest in 2006, as part of the Everest Peace Project, and have since summitted several of the world’s highest peaks. They began their business, Beyond Everest, a few years later. From the mission statement: “Their goal behind Beyond Everest is to take the power of the high peaks and inspire all people to live their dreams, achieve their greatest goals…and then go even further. Through presentations, seminars and even actual expeditions into the mountains, Tonya and Brad want to pass on the power mountains offer and inspire everyone to find vision, passion and achievement beyond what was thought possible.”

The publication, Winners Within Us, is unique in that it solicits proposals, then asks readers to vote on which story they would like to see developed into a full-length article. So I’m drumming up votes!

Please go here and click on the voting button for “Brad Clement & Tonya Riggs Clement.”

Update: Scroll down the voting page to read the short proposals of all the nominees.

More of Brad’s photography and the two of them on some of their expeditions can be seen here.

    Update on voting rules: 1 vote per person, please.
    (Publisher says the poll is set up to monitor how many individual people vote, not the number of votes.)

    If you haven’t voted yet, go vote for Brad and Tonya Clements!
    As of now we’re in 4th place out of 21 nominees.

    Got my vote! I suppose we can only vote once?

      Thanks Susan! I believe so – I tried to vote twice and I don’t think it “took.” We might be able to vote once a day. I’ll try again tomorrow.
