this study has been mentioned before here but i wasn't aware it might start so soon.

Some of the funding for the Parkinson’s study comes from fundraising done by Summit 4 Stem Cell. The organization raises funds by hiking. Two years ago, the group raised funds for the study by hiking up Mt. Kilimanjaro in Africa, and next month, a group of 10 hikers, including Parkinson’s patients, family and friends will leave for an even greater challenge: climbing to Nepal’s south base camp of Mt. Everest, an altitude of 17,598 feet. The trek, led by Sherrie Gould, a nurse practitioner at Scripps Clinic Movement Disorders Center, leaves on Oct. 9 for a three-week climbing adventure. In 2011, Gould and her team of hikers raised $350,000 in donations for the study, and Gould said that Summit 4 Stem Cell has raised a total of $800,000 “solely on grassroots.” Radunsky is on the advisory board of Summit 4 Stem Cell, and while he said he isn’t involved with the hike himself, he has participated in some of the training and organization of the trek.
