VISUALIZE A STREAM OF PEOPLE . . . . 

whose lives have been affected by cancer joining from all four directions on the highest point in Africa, Kilimanjaro at sunrise.  They are there to celebrate the struggles, the courage of spirit, and the sharing of community.   They are there to spread hope to the world. They can not make this climb alone; nor can we live on this planet isolated in our countries.  The sharing of the climb with the Africans that assist us, the community at home supporting the climbers, and the climbers themselves step Out of Africa for at least a brief period to demonstrate what is possible in a world community.   A dramatic and highly emotional event such as people from all sides of Kilimanjaro is  but one component of this project.  Local outdoor adventures and community groups are another.   This project is about community, healthy lives, connection, beauty, hope, and celebration.

 OUR MISSION

To create a community of people whose lives have been affected by Cancer

OUR STRATEGY

Utilizing the awe and beauty of nature, the inspiring challenges it can provide as well as the healing qualities of its peace and beauty to create a community of people to celebrate and reinforce the goodness in life, we strive to use “journeys" facilitated and designed to support the mission.  The journeys may include group activities and challenges in the natural world.  It is the sharing as a community the successes and struggles in life.
