Well the climb was completed successfully, I'll always remember that feeling of accomplishment and sheer wonder that I climbed over 19000 feet to the summit of Africa's tallest peak.
But one more goal remains to be reached. Please join me in supporting the American Lung Association. I have made it my goal to raise $5000 in memory of my Dad, a life long sufferer from severe asthma that contributed to his early death.
Many of you have already made a donation and we are over 80% of the way to my goal. Thank-you, your support is appreciated and was a motivation for me to train seriously and work through various bouts of knee pain, but please consider donating a second time.
If you have not made a donation, please do so today.
Just go to:

Thanks again for your support!

CONGRATS Doug. An amazing accomplishment, indeed!
ReplyDeleteI bet you're now secretly planning another excursion. The thrill
you just experienced could become very addicting I bet!?
So, anything else on your 'bucket list'?
