Why blog, you ask?

I, Skarbs, HIKED the 3 highest peaks in Africa in January of 2012, all to raise money for the 3 "peak issues" in East Africa: Education, Health, and Environment. East Africa is a place close to my heart. I know the difference that love, belief, and understanding can make in this beautiful part of the world. Join with me as I REFLECT back on this amazing journey!

"Everyman's Everest"

Here's an article from the Wall Street Journal about climbing Kilimanjaro.  Don't be deceived by the title of the article...they go on to say that only 40% of people who attempt to summit Kili actually make it.  Granted, that's a higher success rate than Everest, but still doesn't make it seem easy by any stretch of the imagination.

Everyman's Everest

I'm headed to Asheville, NC this weekend for a soccer tournament...I hope I can find time to get a short hike in between games!  That might be wishful thinking...

Until next time,
