I know Larry personally, and believe me its not about his ego. He worked as a paramedic before and during medical school, he worked with drug addicted patients at hospitals during residency, and has worked with cancer patients at the Mayo clinic. He has seen firsthand how quickly a life can be cut short, and how so many people could not reach their dreams and goals. He started Radiating Hope as a way to help improve treatment and accessibility for cancer patients in countries with limited care. He donates a lot of his own money for the cause, but he doesn't advertise what he does. If he speaks about it at all its to raise awareness for the cause and to inspire others to reach their dreams and goals. He's one of the hardest working men I've ever known.
He talks about how his climbs have helped him better appreciate what his cancer patients go through as the altitude sickness can be very similar to what his patients experience during treatments. He truly cares for his patients and others
