Portaging Mt. Everest for Mental Health with The Weight We Carry
Listen now
Description
On Episode 10 of Under the Yoke we had the pleasure of speaking with brothers, Kyle and Tom, from The Weight We Carry. Fueled by their motivation to help individuals living in impoverished areas of the world and their burning desire for adventure, Kyle and Tom set off to each carry a canoe to the top of Mt. Everest basecamp to raise awareness towards mental health. Their objective was to raise $150,000 in an effort to construct the Women’s Mental Health Center in Kathmundu, Nepal.  This episode seeks to illuminate their trials and tribulations, as well as showcase the brother’s extreme determination and strength throughout this amazing journey to the top of the world. Although the expedition has been completed, the job is not finished - please see the attached links if you are interested in donating to the construction of the mental health care facility. We hope you enjoy our chat with these very special guys. Also - listen in as we announce the winner of the Algonquin Outfitters Contest! Website: https://www.theweightwecarry.com/about-us/Instagram: @the_weight_we_carryFacebook: The Weight We Carry
