Today was vaccination day at the doctors office.. yellow fever, tetanus, and a polio booster shot to be followed by typhoid and malaria pills starting next week. Welcome to international travel!! Thank goodness the gentleman who gave me my shots was good at it as the tetanus shot did not hurt nearly as much as it did the last time! Also on my list of items to get at the doctors office were several prescriptions for antibiotics, inhalers (my list, not Alpine Ascents list), and altitude sickness medication... Check, check, and check!
The gear list is starting to come to a close and everyone is getting more excited as the trip nears. My brothers wedding is this weekend so with a brief lapse in training for a few days, plans are to return to it full force upon next week. Only 4 weeks to go!
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.
