In February, I will be climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro on behalf of Shalva's children and families.
This mountain is the largest free-standing mountain in the world and one of the most challenging, so why on earth am I doing it?
The reason is Shalva.
Shalva provides transformative care to 2,000 individuals with disabilities and support to their family members, in the warmest and most loving environment. From infancy through adulthood, this incredible organization provides leading-edge therapies, inclusive educational frameworks, social and recreational activities, employment training, independent living, respite programs regardless of religion, ethnic background or financial capability!
Simply put, I am climbing the ultimate, once-in-a-lifetime mountain to benefit Shalva, so that their families are able to conquer their personal mountains on a daily basis.
I am doing my part to support this amazing organization with my climb, and I need your help.
I'll take care of the training, the achy feet, 8 days in a tent and the summit if you'll help me by donating to this worthy cause. All contributions are tax-deductible to the full extent allowed by law, and anything you can give would help me reach my goal.
Together we'll be supporting this truly special place and changing the lives of thousands of children.
If your company has a matching gift program, please let me know so I can connect you with Shalva.
Thank you in advance for your help and generosity.

Errone Kemp | 200 USD | "Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.” - Joshua 1:9 <3 Message from my dad: Be sure to follow all the instructions they give you. Up there, the air is thin. When they say walk slowly, do that - so you don't get tired quickly. I wish you all the best, Lisa! |
Amy Albalah | 54 USD | Best of luck to you. Amazing accomplishment. |
Marco Solar | 100 USD | • Don’t look too far ahead, especially when fatigued. Focus on 100-200m at a time. • Hydrate and rest more than you think you should, especially at latter camps. • Try to avoid an adrenaline dump. It’s harder on your body coming down than going up. • Take photos at the top. Your brain doesn’t fully work at that altitude. You’ll remember less than you’d like. |
