A huge thank you (asante sana!) to everyone who supported Becks and I on our incredible journey to the top of Mount Kilimanjaro! All of your prayers, well-wishes and financial support enabled us to experience the trip of a lifetime. We learned Swahili words (“jambo”, “pole-pole”), drank tent tea, met new people, and learned a lot about ourselves. And together our little Climb to Fight Breast Cancer (CFBC) team of five (Matt, Mark, Laurie, Becks, Dabby) raised over $50,000 dollars to fight breast cancer!! None of this would have been possible without YOU so congratulations on being part of the CFBC team and for letting Becks and I represent you on this expedition.
Also a shout out to our head guide (John Hauf), our Chagga guides (August, Romley, and Afrikan), and all of the amazing support staff that made the trek such an incredible experience. Three warm meals a day, tent tea, and a latrine tent just for our group made for luxurious accommodations on the mountain. They were a first-rate crew and I’d highly recommend Alpine Ascents if you’re interested in doing a trek or climb.
