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!

23 Days...Fundraising Challenge!

As I get closer and closer to the departure date, this trip is starting to feel real!  Both of my visas are taken care of, I got my shots and prescriptions ordered (Malaria pills and altitude medication), paid my final deposit for the trip, have plane tickets, all my gear...etc.  To date, I have raised about $15,000 for the 3 organizations we are supporting in Kenya and TZ.  In the month of December, donations are being matched 2 to 1 by a really cool foundation.  Just this past weekend, I received a $500 donation...which will be met with $1000 from the foundation!  If I can get a few more gifts of support...we'll have a crazy amount to send over and make a HUGE difference for these causes.  As a team, we've raised nearly $100,000!  Help us get farther along and make even more of an impact.  You can visit my FirstGiving page to make a donation.




Every bit helps...and remember, a $25 donation turns into $75, so you know what that means for a $5,000 donation.....:)
