Kilimanjaro attempt to be made by paraplegic in March

Monday, December 29, 2008 around 10 pm mountain time

One-Revolution.com:

In March 2009, Chris Waddell will attempt to summit Kilimanjaro. Sounds like a basic goal, until you consider that this star athlete and paralympian will conquer the 19,340 foot high mountain without the use of his legs. If successful, Waddell will become the first paraplegic to summit Kilimanjaro unassisted, the tallest freestanding mountain in the world.

I’ve been planning to climb Kili for 2 years. This is inspiring stuff.
