Summit Murder Mystery Series

200 paragliders to fly off Mt. Kilimanjaro and fundraise $1M for East Africa charities Some events only happen once in a lifetime. While we’ve seen hundreds if not thousands Kilimanjaro charity climbs, we’ve certainly never seen 200 paragliders jump from the peak of Africa’s 19,341 foot summit in the name of charity. It will be a world-record breaking event. Three years of preparation will culminate in the largest Kilimajaro fundraising event of its kind with the 200 paragliders and support team set to start their climb up Mt Kilimanjaro on January 27 th , 2013. The project is appropriately dubbed ‘Wings of Kilimanjaro’. Paragliding pilots and passengers from around the world will aim to reach the summit and then jump off the mountain paragliding down.

 I thought this was a really cool article worth posting!   “I can definitely notice the difference (since starting CrossFit). At the end of a long climb, I used to feel exhausted and bent over from the weight of the pack, but now I feel more upright." At 17 years old, Erica Dohring had climbed 19,341-foot Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania, 20,328-foot Mount McKinley in Alaska and Argentina’s 22,841-foot Mount Aconcagua — the highest peak in the western hemisphere. With those daunting peaks behind her, she aimed for the world’s most coveted peak: 29,029-foot Mount Everest. If she reached the summit at 17 years old, she would have the extra honor of sealing the title, “Youngest American Woman to Climb Mount Everest.” However, with just a few months remaining before her 18th birthday, Dohring had little time to prepare. She trained by hiking and climbing near her hometown in Arizona at least four days a week...

I was very honored and excited to attend a breakfast wherein I was able to meet retired Senator Jon Kyl and the newly elected Senator Jeff Flake!  While I was in Washington D.C. last month, I stopped by Senator Jon Kyl's office and dropped off a copy of Murder on Kilimanjaro .  When I saw him at the breakfast I attended, he told me he read Murder on Kilimanjaro and loved it!  How cool!  I gave a copy of Senator Jeff Flake at the breakfast and he said he is very excited to read the book because he lived in Africa for three years!  What great endorsements!
