Dear Mr. LaMoureaux:

Please accept my warmest welcome to the Climb for America's Children Denali 2001 - 2002 Expedition, a benefit for the nonprofit organization, "A Child Is Missing." You could not have chosen a more spectacular state for "The NeXt Generation Telethon" and sporting event.

I applaud your efforts in organizing this extreme sport charitable event to raise funds for the National Command Center. Heightened awareness of the "National Rapid Response System" will enable law enforcement officials to find missing children across the country, a truly worthy cause. Your selfless commitment to the success and future development of "A Child Is Missing" is extremely impressive.

On behalf of all Alaskans, thank you for your dedication to serving our country and communities in the past, present, and future. I wish you the best of luck on a successful telethon and sport event!

Dear Mr. LaMoureaux:

I would like to applaud you for founding The Climb for America's Children event. You and your program have taken on the daunting task of finding missing children, which is one of the toughest and most challenging goals imaginable.

Every day that passes, more than 3,000 children are reported missing, and most Americans have no idea this is even occurring. It is always an emotional and physical drain that takes an enormous amount of commitment, dedication and faith to keep going for everyone involved.

As Co-Founder of the Congressional Missing and Exploited Children's Caucus, and Chairman of the Entertainment Task Force, I want you to know you'll have my full support in meeting the challenges you face. I can't think of a more worthy cause, and I know it will be a huge success.

Dear George,

I appreciate you briefing me on the Climb for America's Children event and A Child is Missing, programs which are so very important to this country. As you explained the program was founded by Sherry Friedlander and is expanding nationwide, Alaska being one of the states that will benefit from its service.

You will make Alaska proud that you have come up with this interesting way to assist in raising funds to not only bring the program to Alaska but to help other states and the children in those states. The awareness to the public that your climb will generate will alert the families in their time of need that there is immediate help for them to find their child that is missing in the first hours of their disappearance.

There are over 3,000 missing children reported daily in our country; this is incredible. Speeding up the search process through A Child Is Missing rapid response system to the area they were last seen and alerting the people in the area of the child's disappearance will assist law enforcement in the recovery of these missing children.

This is a tremendous undertaking and I congratulate you and your team that are willing to use their experience in helping in this important program.

George, your experience of successfully building companies, putting things together, working with a vision and knowing lots of people in business and the media makes a big difference in an undertaking such as the Climb for America's Children. You have my support.

Sincerely,

William J Sheffield
Former Governor of Alaska

National Advisory Board Member of "A Child is Missing"

Dear Mr. LaMoureaux,

Congratulations on being named to the National Advisory Board of "A Child is Missing."

I was astounded to learn that over 3,000 children a day are reported missing in America, according to FBI figures, and last year 4,241 missing children cases were in Alaska alone. Even when most children are found, it is a traumatic experience. Something this horrifying needs to be dealt with in an immediate and strategic manner.

Your support for the "National Command Center" and the National Rapid Response System" (now nationwide because of your fundraising campaign) has enabled and will continue to help law enforcement officials to find missing children here in Alaska and across the nation. This is a noble cause that needs broad support.

Good Luck with you "Climb for America's Children" charitable event here and the "A Child is Missing" program.

Sincerely,

Walter J Hickel
