Memorial:

On a very sad note, Sebastien Gay, the legendary mountain guide from Wallis who led members of Help-for-Hope to the summit of Mt.Blanc in July of 2006, passed away in a tragic accident on December 30, 2006. Our deepest sympathy goes to Sebastien's family, and in particular his wife Géraldine Fasnacht. In the words of Jean Troillet, world famous mountain guide and adventurer, and close friend to Sebastien, "Whenever we'll go for the extraordinary, Sebastien will be with us"!
