Weihenmayer's mission was to train a group of local students for an expedition in late September 2004 to the summit of Lhakpa Ri - a spectacular, 23,000-foot (7,000 meter) Himalayan peak just north of Mount Everest. The difference between this Himalayan adventure and others is that Weihenmayer and the six Tibetan teens he will lead are blind. By donating three Photosmart digital cameras, an iPAQ Pocket PC, a ruggedized notebook computer and cash to the project, HP is helping to spread this story of courage, strength and hope.
