 Rick and Theresa  On July 10th, 2006 we started the first leg of a journey that would lead us to the Mountain. Shortly after Rick was diagnosed with Esophageal Cancer, he was wheeled into the Strong Memorial Hospital surgical unit. The surgery and the four chemo treatments would leave him with a new appreciation for the gift of Life.
Since that time Rick has made it a point to pay it forward to others. He offers guidance and support to those who are experiencing the same cancer. This trip will be another way for him to give back. In 2006 we fought the fight against Rick's cancer and in 2009 we will continue to fight, together, for others by trekking up Mount Kilimanjaro. |
 Marty  Physical challenges are our favorite way to experience new places, in our beloved Adirondacks and around the world. Marty and I have climbed in the High Peaks, hiked the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu, climbed Mount Kinabalu on Borneo, and were eager for more adventure. When we attended the ADK lecture in 2005, and Rick French introduced Tanzanian guide Yusuph, our ears perked up at the possibility of Killimanjaro. Could we do it?
Then I read about Journeys of Inspiration on the Pack, Paddle, Ski website, and thought immediately of four dear friends we lost to cancer, and at least four more survivors. How wonderful it would be to honor them all with this personal challenge. We are in our early 70's. What better model for our seven grandchildren than a vigorous, adventurous grandma and grandpa. It will be a challenge indeed! |

 Melissa & Kipp  We are grateful to walk in support of those who personify extaordinary courage and spirit as they face each day of uncertainty and change.
