Today I want to give a shout out to my friend Rachel Strate. Last week she put out a call on Twitter for people to donate their blood platelets at a local blood bank. This is thinking outside the box to help a community, using social media. And the fun part was, Rachel isn’t even in Salt Lake. I think she’s currently on a climbing expedition in Texas. Right Rachel?

I met Rachel a few months ago, and ever since then I’ve been following her latest adventure. If you want to learn more about her global trek to climb some of the worlds best spots, visit her web site and chime in. You can also follow Rachel on Twitter.

Thanks for everything you do Rachel.
