Byron suffered a stroke in September caused by an aneurysm but has made a full recovery and has his doctor's blessing to climb.  He is doing it as an inspiration to himself and all stroke survivors to show that you can lead a full life after suffering a stroke.  A fund raising page has been set up on the Alberta Heart and Stroke Foundation website at www.heartandstroke.ab.ca
