Peak Ambition

Director of Health Services Dr. Aimee Goodman proudly held the Peddie flag at Everest Base Camp after an 11-day trek through the Himalayas earlier this year. “This was a trip I had dreamed of since reading ‘Into Thin Air: A Personal Account of the Mt. Everest Disaster’ at age 10 — a true bucket list journey, a lifetime in the making,” Goodman said. “Preparing for the trek took six months of dedicated training, and it was the most physically challenging thing I’ve ever done, but also the most rewarding. Standing at Base Camp, surrounded by the world’s highest peaks, was an unforgettable experience.”
