Last hour…
Well we had our last day today which consisted of visiting many local shops and re-organizing ourselves for the flight home. We had a great last meal at this restaurant that employs challenged workers to make jewelry and Tara had a nice moment with one of the workers showing her leg. It was really nice. Also, a store owner today gave Erica a free set of Tanzanite earrings for accomplishing the mountain, another incredible moment of kindness. Now, we are about to eat a quick bite and then head to the airport for our 25 hour trek back to LAX. Talk to you all soon…

About me
We are headed to Africa to summit Mt. Kilimanjaro in Tanzania with two challenged athletes. Our goal is to raise awareness for individuals with physical challenges so they can participate and compete in the sports they love with portions of the proceeds to benefit the Challenged Athletes Foundation. By providing opportunities and resources needed for active lifestyles, CAF enhances these individuals’ self-esteem, independence and quality of life.In January of 2010, we start our journey from Los Angeles International Airport and head towards Tanzania, and we would like to invite all of you to follow along!
Here we will frequently be keeping you all up to date on our progress before, during, and after the climb.
Keep checking back!
