Dave Franke is an AK amputee who is departing April 29th for a climb in the 
Himalayas.

Please see his web site at www.limbank.org

Climbing the highest mountains in the world is an incredible feat for someone 
with both legs intact.

It is even more remarkable  for those with symes and BK amputations. 

But, to be an transfemoral amputee, and knowing the work and inherent 
problems involved at this level of amputation,  makes the effort even more 
amazing!

His primary goal is to raise money and awareness for a non profit 
organization dedicated to bringing prosthetic help to Nepal and other 
developing and underserved countries.

Sincerely,

Mark Benveniste CP
