For: Lisa

I'm so proud of you for going for your dream. Hope the climb is going well. Your training partners, Indie and Shutze, keep asking why they didn't get to go to Africa too. They were ready for the adventure. Michelle and I will take them on a local "Africa hike". Can't wait to hear your stories.

For: Lisa

Morning Lee, Get out there and kick ass today! How are those muscles doing, is all the training with the dogs paying off? Our thoughts are with you and all your team. God speed. Love, Paul & Larry

All is well here. Doing and seeing a lot of interesting things. Actually, more than interesting - amazing and unbelievable. Saw 4 zebras and 5 giraffes and Maasai along the road driving to Karatu. Hope you are having a great time. This is the first time I've been on the Internet.

For: kili Climbers 2012

You're in for one hell of an adventure! Keep moving forward and keep up the positive energy. You're in great hands and you'll meet some wonderful people along the way. Times will get tough and you'll realize deep down inside that you are much tougher than that "little" mountain you see off in the distance. Enjoy it and take lots of pictures becuase believe it or not...it goes by way too fast. PS - there's a special angel watching over you. My sister Jacquie will keep all of you saf

For: Chris & Raiel

We are so excited for all of you. Enjoy, be safe. Chris, do you believe I figured out how to do this? I love reading the entries. Can't wait to see all your pictures. Love you. Mom

We are thinking of you constantly, and mentally encouraging you in thoughts and prayers. Good luck and God speed to you and all your fellow climbers.

For: To? Vicky

Vicky, It is so exciting to look at the map and know you're really there and on your way!! I can only begin to imagine how it must feel to realy be on your way up!! Looking forward to more reports. Hugs from Ellen G

For: Lisa

Enjoy the climb and be present in every moment during this breathtaking, life changing experience, wish I was with you.

For: Deirdre and Gene

Before I board my flight - I wanted to ask that when you get to the summit, please do me a BIG favor and scream the following at the top of your lungs: "HELEN!". Thanks

For: Deirdre

Can't wait to see your pictures. Try and get a shot of the Kilimanjaro Yeti if you can. I understand they are huge and hairy, but not to worry they are not at all aggressive and sightings are mostly on the opposite side of the mountain from where you are. On the more serious side, you write with such feeling and sincereity, wouldn't be surprised if there's a book in there somewhere from this experience. I hope you won't be embarrassed if I say here that the Cancer Society is lucky to have you.

For: Mary Ann

We join Art in cheering you and your (really!) stubborn courage; we are vicariously imagining the glory of the view, and the joy of the team! The satellite link is TERRIFIC! Stay strong!

For: Gene

Good Luck on Day 3. Can't wait to hear all about the climb.

Type your message here... Hey did you get the roses we had heli-dropped to you? :-) Hope you are having the time of your life, I can just see your face taking it all in. And it will still be on your face when you tell us all about it!! You are an amazing person and I imagine you are with a group of similarly amazing types. Enjoy every minute guys! Much love.

For: The Burlington Crowd

We'll miss you guys at Maglianero tomorrow night! Don't worry, we'll save some pain for when you get back! Have fun and be safe, thinking of all of you...

For: Lisa

Lee, I am thinking of you as I have one hour before surgery. Aunt Patty and Oma are right about you being a bird cause you fly so high in everything you do. I am thinking about you going into the death zone and I know you are strong. Don't worry cause between all of us here we have that all covered for you so you can enjoy the sights and take notes for yours stories, maybe some pictures and come home safe and uncontrollably happy. I love you

For: C-Lo and her Daddy

Thinking about you as we head out to lunch today on campus. Thanks for the updates and we hope you are "hanging in there" and "running like hell." Love, US

For: All

I wanted you all to know what I saw in a vision when I plugged into you all this morning... you are all hiking along with a red carpet under your feet. I know you can't see it in the earthly scence but I can on this energy level. It dosen't matter how far up walk or climb, the red carpet of royality has been there for a long time and it dosen't matter how far you climb on this trip, the carpet is not going to go away for the rest of your lives. Thank you all for touching my life. Mari

For: Deirdre

Hope that you have had a great day 2 on the mountain. With the time difference I assume that you are now settled down for the night. Have a wonderful day 3. Everyone sending good thoughts and prayers your way. You are the greatest. Way to go Dee!

For: Paul

Thank you for the birthday wish on the audeo. Sarah and I hope you are having a wonderful time and that the trip is better than any expectation you had of it. Stay well and get plenty of sleep. 8 more days and you will be home. Billy Martin came and looked at the roof again. He is going to put a new ridge vent on the office wing. Luv you and miss you, honey. Jane

For: Bob, Rick & the rest of the team

Way to go, everyone! I summited Kili on the Rongai route with Yusuf and Climbing for Christ 11 months ago today, and I wish I could be there with you all to do it again. Bob & Rick, I'm anxious to hear the stories and see the pictures from this route. I'm praying for your safety, health and success!
