ORLANDO, Florida- Amazon 5000, www.facebook.com/amazon5000, announced today that 64- year-old cancer survivor and special forces veteran, Mickey Grosman, has discovered plant life in the Amazon 5000 Expedition not recognized by the indigineous of the area, possibly unidentifiable to anyone!
In the midst of Mickey's Amazon 5000 expedition, a 5,000 mile journey across the South American continent, Mickey and his team of (6) indigenous, crossed land never crossed by any before. Traveling hundreds of miles, Mickey reached the Sumaco region, in the mountain range of the Eastern Andes in Ecuador. It is here, where Mickey documented plant life that was foreign to even the natives of the area. Mushrooms that looked and smelled like fruit, trees with mysterious intricate designs in the trunks and rare giant worms were just a few bio species documented by Mickey.
  
Mickey is now traveling east into Yasuni Park in Ecuador, just beginning leg 6 of his 12 leg, year long adventure. He will now be entering the territory of the Tagaeri Tribe. One of the last known uncontacted indigenous tribes in the world.
A meeting with the Tagaeri's could turn fatal, this tribe is known for their weapon of choice, long spears, and to be one of the most violent tribes. Despite the danger, Mickey forges on in his mission to reignite the fight against cancer and inspire cancer patients. Even the ominous giant paw print found in their path will not deter Mickey!
Setting a personal example, Mickey wishes to encourage cancer patients. Mickey says "I want the cancer warriors to know I am dedicating this journey to them. Keep battling strong, fight hard and never ever give up!". Through state of the art technology sponsored by Satellite Phone Store and Delorme, Mickey is able to share updates, blogs and picture live from the jungle and communicate with his fans at home and the little warriors battling cancer at Florida Hospital ( www.floridahospitalforchildren.com) and with the children at BASE Camp Children's Cancer Foundation( www.basecamp.org) . They are partner organizations with Amazon 5000-for the Cure ( www.facebook.com/Amazon5000) and the Amazon 5000-Kids Adventure Club ( www.facebook.com/groups/TrekkerInspector).
