Going to Africa!

    Hello Everyone!  Welcome to my blog where I'll be keeping you peoples up to date on my training and fundraising for 3 Peaks 3 Weeks.  I fund raise and train in 2011, and climb in January of 2012!

    I'll go into more detail in future posts, but I will be part of an all women's climbing group hiking the 3 highest peaks in Africa (Mt. Kenya, Mt. Meru, and of course, Mt. Kilimanjaro) to raise money for the "3 peak issues" in East Africa:

• Education
• Health
• Environment

    To start with, check out my application video that I submitted to get accepted for the climb. For the first minute I had to pretend I was trying to convince the CEO of North Face to support our team, and the second minute I had to list 3 adjectives to describe myself. 

 

    Many thanks to Kate and Meg for filming me, my awesome neighbor Nick for making a guest appearance, and MEESH! for editing the video like a pro.  Meesh, roomie, friend, you are the bomb (Da bomb?)!  More updates later, but I'm so excited for this opportunity to raise money for awesome people in Tanzania and Kenya.
