 Reality 4 Diabetes

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

Student reels in reality TV stars for diabetes benefit (Cincinnati Enquirer 5.1.03)
Cincinnatian Tasha Wilkie, a 19-year-old college student, is a major reality TV fan. So much so she has studied it in academic settings, traveled to charity events to meet cast members and even gathered autographed pictures to sell for diabetes-related charities, Wilkie was diagnosed with Type 1 (insulin dependent) diabetes in 1998.

Now this: She has organized a July 19 meet 'n' greet at two locations with cast members from Survivor, Big Brother, The Mole and The Amazing Race. She's been working on it for a year.   Full Story...
