This fall, a Port Coquitlam father climbed to Everest base camp and to the summit of neighbouring Imja Tse (Island Mountain) to raise money for BC Children's Hospital.
It was a trek that, for Peter Hunter, mirrored the challenges faced by his daughter, Madison, when she was born prematurely at just 26 weeks.
A decade later, Madison is a thriving Grade 5 student and the entire family is "extremely proud" of Hunter's climb, said his wife, Anita Hunter.
