Thank you Wikpedia for today’s awesome picture of Mount Everest and now the opportunity to write my own tribute to Sir Edmund Hilary who sadly passed away 11 January 2008. I wasn’t around when Hilary conquered this beautiful but deadly lady but thanks to him my school house team had a name. The other three, also heroic adventurers, were Hunt, Shackleton and Scott. Each year the house assembly would be a tribute to Hilary and his achievements so he became and always will remain one of my heroes. Not just because he climbed a great big mountain but also for his commitment to the people of Nepal. Hilary was not just a brave man of courage but a man with a caring heart. So thank you Sir Edmund for being a wonderful inspiration to me and my life.
