Frankie Gage Potis2008 Honoree Frankie Gage Potis
Little Frankie was diagnosed with acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) when he was only six months old. He remained brave throughout his battle with the disease and was always quick to smile, no matter how sick or weak he became.

The 2008 Big Climb falls on what would have been Frankie's seventh birthday.  His family and friends plan on honoring him in a big way this year.  Their team, Frankie Fans, has grown from four climbers in 2003 to more than 100.  They plan on breaking all standing records this year, including a first place funraising finish.  Last year, they took second with more than $20,000 raised!
