Sir Edmund Hillary- A Hero




It does not really matter if you are into mountain climbing or not, Sir Edmund Hillary should be considered a hero to all. One can not ignore the fact that he was the first in the world to climb Everest (with Tenzing Norgay on May 29, 1953). It is because of this that he was able to do so much good in the world.

He brought education to many people in the world who never would have received it, he highlighted the need for humanity in the world and condemed the lack of it in the climbing world, and he was just an all around nice guy.

He will be missed!
