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. |
We’ve arrived in Moshi, Tanzania
Wednesday, December 30, 2009
We’ve arrived in Moshi, Tanzania, the small town at the base of the 19,340-foot Mt. Kilimanjaro. In just 2 days, we begin the climb. Our packs are full, our 40-degree-below-zero sleeping bags are stuffed and our various batteries are charged. We are ready!
There was no better welcome to this African country than knowing that even more sponsors have pledged at the Summitteer level.
To the local unions that are part of the UFCW Region 8 States Council, thank you. Your commitment to helping children battling leukemia is deeply appreciated by all of us.
Another Summit level sponsor has come through and we are grateful to Steve Stemerman of Davis Cowell and Bowe for his friendship, counsel and generosity over these many years. Steve, your significant support is so meaningful to us!
