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.

Mellon on the Mountain!!

A special thank you to Scott Hamilton and John Donaghey at BNY Mellon for their pledge at Summiter level.

When we received this pledge, we couldn’t help but reflect back to the first week of January when we were on the summit of Mt. Tamalpais with Scott.

That was the beginning of this journey and now, here we are, 20 days and counting until the start of the Loveall Foundation for Children Kilimanjaro Challenge benefitting children fighting Leukemia.

We can’t tell you how much we appreciate all of your support.

Scott, we know if you weren’t about to become a daddy for the first time, we’d be eating your dust climbing up that mountain in Tanzania.

To all of our supporters, thanks for accepting "The Challenge." Onward and upward!
