The Loveall Foundation Kilimanjaro Challenge:
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. David, you will be in our thoughts with every step we take on this climb. You are an inspiration to those who know you. |

First, a special thank you to Mark Tulowitzky, from UFCW 8, who donated online at Trekker level. Mark, your support is humbling and so meaningful. We are up to the Challenge!
Following is an excerpt from an email we received from Mark DeVincentis:
“Hey guys: That ‘Climb’ video is insane. I have the chills. One of the best videos ever; it will go down as a classic. If we didn’t just have a baby, I would have booked a flight and climbed with you.
“I’m watching it again. Insane!
“I forwarded that link to all of my friends, family and colleagues, and I urge everyone else who supports this worthy cause to do the same.
“Let’s blow the roof off of this thing and raise as much as we possibly can for these kids battling leukemia.
“Just climb, baby, just climb!”
You heard Mark! Please pass along this and future emails to your friends and family. Any and all support is deeply appreciated.
If you haven’t already done so, please make your donation online at www.ClimbforChildren.org and make sure you “Become a Fan” of the Loveall Foundation page on Facebook.com.
Any and all support for this cause is greatly appreciated.
Thank you for accepting “The Challenge.” Onward and upward!
