Get out there, get active and challenge yourself.

That's what this whole Himalayan Rush thing is about.

It's about challenging yourself to something that scares you so much

that you think you might die doing it. I don't say that lightly either. But scare yourself and do

something that puts you out of your comfort zone because that's incredible. It's just, that's the way it

should be.

Hi friends, today's show is about hope and motivation. Today's show is about Nepal.

Today's show is about shock stars and aftershocks and 110 pounds.

Today we have Melissa Khan with us. Melissa is the shock star from Aftershocks.

We'll get into what that means a little bit later,

program. Thank you so much for having me. I'm excited to be here. Oh, that's our pleasure. It's always

wonderful to get someone on who's excited about the same stuff that we're excited about. And I know that that's who you are. So let's start, Melissa, you live in Phoenix now.
