| 0:00.0 | You're listening to the Adventure Sports podcast. |
| 0:09.2 | Thanks for adventuring with us as we discover what incredible athletes and outdoor enthusiasts are doing all over the world. |
| 0:16.8 | Now here's your host, Kurt Linville. |
| 0:19.2 | Hi friends, I have a couple of quick announcements for you before we dive into the program today. |
| 0:26.0 | The first is I wanted to give you an update about the fundraising effort for We See Hope via the Kilimanjaro Climb. |
| 0:34.4 | So climbing for change is what we're calling this expedition. And there are, oh, I don't know what |
| 0:41.1 | the count is now. We're probably 13 people are going up Kilimanjaro and each one of them is |
| 0:47.7 | raising $20,000 for We See Hope. And I am climbing and the Adventure Sports Podcast family is raising a minimum of |
| 0:57.6 | $20,000 for We See Hope. But all the climbers together are up to $77,000 out of $300,000, which is our |
| 1:08.5 | goal. So that's a huge effort. $77,000. That's exciting. But I want to make |
| 1:14.6 | sure that we not only hit that 300,000, that the Adventure Sports podcast family reaches at least |
| 1:21.4 | the 20,000. I would like to see us blow that out of the water. So if you want to learn more about |
| 1:27.1 | that, I recorded a episode, |
| 1:30.1 | oh, it was about a week and a half ago. It's called Special Announcement, Killimanjaro, for |
| 1:36.1 | We See Hope. So if you want to learn more about that, listen to that short episode. It's like 10 |
| 1:41.3 | minutes or something like that. And another reminder, if you have a business and you |
| 1:46.2 | would like to make a donation to We See Hope, tax deductible donation, then if you donate at least |
| 1:53.0 | $1,000, you'll be entered in the auction to get a year's free advertising from the Adventure |
| 2:00.0 | Sports podcast. So you give at least $1,000 to We free advertising from the Adventure Sports Podcast. |
| 2:03.8 | So you give at least $1,000 to We See Hope. |
| 2:13.3 | And the Adventure Sports Podcast will say thank you by providing you with a advertisement once a week for a year. |
| 2:16.6 | This is a several, several thousand dollar value. |
