What it means to be "golden" from teammate Michelle De Grand

Our 'Golden' Friends: Gold is considered a precious metal with a very high value. A golden personality is even more precious, and there are few people in this world with that shining spirit. Two people who I am doing this climb in memory of had that priceless zest for life and compassion for other people. Skip Sand passed away last year after a five year battle with Leukemia, but he never once quit living life or caring for others. In fact, he was even growing his hair out for the Locks of Love at the time of his death. He was a truly inspirational and authentic person who was taken away too soon. If we can help cure just one person like Skip, this world will be exponentially better because those people have a positive impact on everyone they meet. My grandfather, Curly DeGrand, is another one of those people. Before he was taken away by a blood cancer, he was active, friendly, social, and caring. All of my memories of him include a smiling face. He didn't live to see all of his grand children. My young cousins won't get to have the adventures with him that I did or know his voice and curly hair. If we can join together and save the grandfathers of the world, their knowledge and positive influences, then think how much wiser a society we'll be. Losing those 'golden' people is hard, but it makes us realize why we need to fight so hard for the golden people to come.
