KILIMANJARO MOLDING

KILIMANJARO PROMISE
Before Beth Behrle climbed Kilimanjaro in 2006, she promised her 12-year-old daughter Katie that they would climb it together some day. The climb would prove to be much more challenging than Beth had ever imagined.
But 5 years later, Katie held her mom to the promise she had unwittingly made so long ago.
TREKKERS SPEAK OUT
This August, Maxine Adshead, a retiree from Cranbrook, British Colombia who is an avid hiker and black belt in karate, summited Kilimanjaro as a member of the annual Eddie & Amy Frank Climb.
Read Maxine’s heartfelt letter to Tusker Coordinator, Mel Kaida, about the many special moments her team shared on the mountain.
GRATITUDE & GRACE
“I felt like I could handle anything in that moment. I was smiling so big my face hurt. I felt like laughing. I felt grace.”
In May, Tusker coordinator Mariya Porten climbed Kilimanjaro with her father, Steve Porten. The climb affected Mariya in ways she never could have imagined, and will never forget.
