Kelsey Climbs Kilimanjaro

I fell in love with mountaineering after summiting Mt. Washington. While I have always loved hiking, mountaineering offered more of a challenge. This year during my Peace Corps service in South Africa, I have started my training to summit Kilimanjaro, the highest mountain in Africa. I thru-hiked the Wild Coast, in December, this April I will train in the Drakensberg Mountains, and July I will continue training on Lion's Head and Table Mountain in Cape Town. My target time to climb will be July 2016 right before I end my service abroad.

The flight to and from South Africa, in addition to the cost of the trip with sherpas, as well as their tip requires more money than a volunteer makes. Please help raise enough money to help me reach my goal in climbing Africa's biggest challenge before I return home.

Thank you for your generosity!
