Today I finally sat down and put together my gear list. I have the basics but with the trip approaching, it is time to order the rest of my gear! I'm still not sure where to store all of the gear during the climb, but those questions will be answered upon arrival in Africa...
Other than the snow we had yesterday, the weather is starting to feel more like spring and with that comes the excitement of outdoor training. I trained in the snow over the winter and feel pretty secure in the fact that my boots, pack, and jacket are going to be sufficient. Now it is time to train in the warmer weather in preparation for the warmer climate that the the climb will begin in... And so on that note, it is time to head outside for a run!
I will be joining 11 other men and women with Multiple Sclerosis to climb Mt. Kilimanjaro in Tanzania, Africa from July 10-24, 2011. This journey is to raise awareness and funding for research to find a cure. Please join me in this journey by following along on this blog. I welcome your donations and prayers.
