Climbing for the Children
Sometimes in life we confront challenges that seem insurmountable, like climbing a 19,340-foot mountain or curing a devastating disease. But history tells us that even the most daunting challenges can be successfully met if you dedicate yourself and focus on your goal.
Beginning New Year’s Day 2010 we will ascend Mt. Kilimanjaro, Africa’s highest peak. On January 6 we plan to stand on her summit. A half a century ago, a diagnosis of Leukemia was a death sentence, but thanks to the work of the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, the five-year survival rate for people with leukemia has nearly quadrupled.
With your support we can climb the tallest mountains together and help relieve the suffering of kids. One hundred percent of your contributions to the Loveall Foundation Kilimanjaro Challenge will go to the Leukemia Society, earmarked to benefit children battling leukemia.
Anything can be accomplished with enough planning, perseverance and effort.
Thank you for accepting ‘The Challenge.’
Onward and upward!
In the midst of his chemo treatments, David Timko, of the Leukemia Society, took the time to congratulate us on our efforts and pledged his support for the Kilimanjaro Challenge.

There is a little more than two weeks to go until the start of the Loveall Foundation for Children Kilimanjaro Challenge. Sponsors of the expedition to climb Africa’s tallest mountain will benefit children who are fighting leukemia.
One of the faces of the Leukemia Society is David Timko, a man many of us have grown to admire as he travels around the country raising money for this worthy cause.
Just a few days ago we learned that, after 16 years, David’s cancer has returned and he is undergoing chemotherapy. His outlook is optimistic and he is as committed as ever to beating this disease.
In the midst of his chemo treatments, David took the time to congratulate us on our efforts and pledged his support for the Kilimanjaro Challenge.
