The Story

Our adventure (The Axis Pharmacy Kilimanjaro Challenge) had started on December 26th, 2007 when 37 of us, 21 males and 16 females, from all across Canada, boarded on the flight to Arusha, Tanzania to start the Kilimanjaro trek on December 29, 2007.

….

Of the 37 climbers, 31 of us (83%) made it to Gilman’s Point and 29 (78%) reached the summit at Uhuru Peak. Thanks to the generosity of our sponsors, together we were able to raise a net amount of over $150,000.00 for Save the Children Canada to be used for its HIV / AIDS projects in Kenya.

….

A very interesting story, worth reading, at the source.
