Mike

In June 2011, I experienced a heartbreak that changed my life forever when my beloved wife, Margot, lost her nine-year battle with breast cancer at just 38 years old. It was a time filled with overwhelming grief and anger.

Then, a friend reached out with a request: his sister-in-law, Amanda, was facing her own fight against stage four breast cancer and was moving to San Francisco for treatment. I immediately connected her with Margot’s former oncologist, but as I learned more about Amanda’s situation, I couldn’t help but feel a deep sense of injustice due to the limitations of her resources.

Just two weeks later, Amanda received the crushing news that her insurance would only cover one of three essential chemotherapy treatments. I couldn’t let cancer steal another life, so I made the choice to use my credit card to cover the costs. That moment of compassion was the spark that ignited the Love From Margot Foundation.

From that day forward, I dedicated myself to supporting women in their battles against cancer. I began by providing financial grants, but soon I realized that the success rates were disappointingly low. I knew I had to find a better way. That journey led me to establish Mountains of Hope, nestled in the stunning Andes Mountains of Colombia.

In a twist of irony, while I was passionately helping others, I neglected my own health and faced a series of alarming challenges: mercury poisoning, heart disease, prostate issues, and kidney disease. However, through treatments that we now share at Mountains of Hope, I made remarkable strides towards healing in just four weeks.

Mountains of Hope is not just a sanctuary; it’s a holistic retreat dedicated to nurturing mind, body, and spirit. We focus on gut health, toxin elimination, mental well-being, and a heightened sense of consciousness. It’s a place where individuals can detoxify, reclaim their health, and embark on a journey toward a wholehearted life, supported by ongoing resources even after their retreat ends.

Together, we can transform our experiences and create a ripple of hope and healing for others. Join me in this mission and let’s make a difference
