Climb for a Cure

I spent an hour snowshoeing hills in my new hiking boots and was surprised at how comfortable and warm they are! Now I just need to add weight in my pack.. maybe in the next couple of weeks. I also got my flight out of Chicago booked today, yah!!

One of the other climbers is an artist and she created a painting for our trip. Here is what she has to say about it: “This watercolor was created just for the Kili trip as the banner for my blog. It has 15 stars — symbolic of the climbers with MS & PD and confetti, representing the companion climbers, sponsors, and our supporters…all celebrating and climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro. If you look hard, you will also find one heart. Mountains are such great metaphors. I can truly say that living with MS myself is like climbing a mountain, every single day.”

Check out her site if you are interested in seeing or purchasing the painting. It is pretty amazing and will find a spot on my wall soon!
