Flying high for a cause

Ken Hutt of RC Berry, Australia, paraglides from Kala Patthar, a peak in Nepal with a view of the Everest summit, as part of his expedition to raise funds to end polio. I’m not a doctor, I can’t treat kids for polio,” Hutt told filmmaker Joe Carter, who has since produced a documentary about the endeavour. “But what I can do is help the cause in probably a bit of an unusual way.” He estimates to have raised more than $200,000 for End Polio Now, including the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation’s 2:1 match.
