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.

Meet the children battling leukemia

Tuesday, December 22, 2009
As we prepare for the challenge of climbing Mount Kilimanjaro, we never stop thinking about the children who are confronting much more difficult challenges of their own.

These are the children who are battling leukemia and lymphoma. All that we do in the Loveall Foundation Kilimanjaro Challenge is for them!

Rory is among the many children who are helped by the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.

When she was 3, Rory was diagnosed with acute lymphocytic leukemia. Two weeks after the diagnosis, her mom contacted the society's Information Resource Center. The center sent booklets on childhood leukemia and referred the family to the Indiana Chapter for support services.

Rory responded well to her chemotherapy, though she was grieved by temporarily losing her beautiful long blonde hair.

Ten years later, Rory is recovering from her cancer and is looking forward to living a normal life!

For Rory, and for many other children like her, we hope you will become a generous supporter of “The Challenge.”

Onward and upward!
