Mount Kilimanjaro - August 5th, 2023
Yes, I cried a lot. No, I absolutely couldn’t have done it alone. Yes, it was freezing. No, I still can’t feel parts of my toes. And yes, it was worth every single second.
I’m extremely proud of this day. I’m still struggling to form words about what this experience has meant to me, and there’s still a couple hundred pictures to share from Kenya and Tanzania. But thank you to the.big.climb , the_explorers_club , fjallravenofficial & every single person I got to share this experience with. I’m forever grateful.
mat_chass32 would be mad if I didn’t shoutout the wnba hoodie.
More to come!

All our sponsored youth have now met in Nairobi.
Today they visited our projects in Kibera informal settlement. Kibera is where our climb was initiated, in a reply to youth violence and lack of opportunities. It's where many colleagues were born and raised. It is a beating heart for us, and we are dedicated to assisting its young residents to become role models in their communty. We climb the mountain together!
Tomorrow the group leaves for their Kilimanjaro training camp.
