"We are the friends of Daniele Nardi. Daniele and mountaineer Tom Ballard have been missing since Sunday, February 24. They were attempting to scale the Mummery Ridge of the Nanga Parbat mountain in the Himalayas. 

Since then, rescue operations have been underway attempting to find Daniele and Tom. We are so grateful for everyone who has led these rescue efforts on the ground. The helicopter rescue operation costs roughly €50,000 per day. Donations to help support these costs are graciously appreciated. Any unused donations will be donated to the schools of Pakistan where Daniele has regularly donated school materials and medicine on this and past expeditions.

To stay up to date on the latest progress of the rescue operation, visit Daniele's Facebook page.

Thank you so much for anything you're able to contribute."
