So here we are, less than one week from our flight to Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania next Sunday. I’ve spent the last couple days shopping for sleeping bags, moleskin bandages, balaclavas, gloves, headlamps, and all kinds of drugs, soaps and creams to make sure my climb to the top of Mt. Kilimanjaro.
It’s taken a lot of hard work to get to this point and it’s going to take a whole lot more to reach our goal of $100,000 and the Uhuru Peak, but I’m confident that our team has what it takes to get there.
Even if we don’t make it to the top of the mountain we’ve already raised over $3,500 for women living with obstetric fistula thanks to the generous support of our donors. As I sit here in my living room at my parents house in Vancouver, I literally can’t believe that I will be on the other side of the world sitting and writing on the same computer about how things are going in Africa.
It all started with one thought that has turned into an idea, which is now about to become reality. I couldn’t be more proud of our team and more thankful to those who have already expressed their support for the Fistula Free Climb.
