On May 18th Kendra Guffey and I are going to be climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro
in Tanzania, Africa. The climb will likely take about 6 or 7 days. Mount
Kilimanjaro is composed of three extinct volcanoes. Kilimanjaro is
also the tallest free-standing mountain rise in the world rising 4,600 m
(15,100 ft) from its base, and includes the highest peak in Africa at
5,895 meters (19,340 ft), providing a dramatic view from the surrounding
plains. Each year, 12, trekkers FAIL to make this climb. Usually due to
Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS), High Altitude Pulmonary Edema (HAPE), and
High Altitude Cerebral Edema (HACE).
We are proud of the charity Reality4diabetes and would like to climb Mt.
Kilmanjaro in honor of the cause.
Thanks,
Christa DeAngelo
