Climbing a mountain for fun????
You can all breath again, NO its not me! lol...
So my friend Amy is in the process of embarking on a big adventure... she has decided that it would be 'fun' to climb Mount Kilimanjaro. Its not just for fun though, its for a good cause. she is raising money for CARE Canada. Each person going has to pay 100% of their own costs, but ALSO raise a set amount of money to donate. (at least i think thats how it works)...
For me - - this just brings back horrible memories of being stuck in a hole on the side of Mt. St. Helen's (waiting for my friends to rescue me - - after then let rob laugh and take pictures!!!) - - what was i thinking?? ME climbing an active volcano?? Honestly, I'd rather be hit by a car again!!!?!? However, the whole trip wasn't that bad, sheli and i discovered Pay Less shoes for the first time, lost our hotel in banff, spent a whole afternoon in the vancouver aquarium gift shop, and the term Gretchen was invented... hee hee. OH and the button shop! can't forget the button shop.
BUT back to the important side of things... my crazy friend that is going to do this purely for fun (not to miss 2 weeks of school in grade 11), oh sorry, i meant, not for fun, but to raise money for a good cause...
So, Amy is trying to raise money ... if you are interested in reading more about this... or want to blog about it on your own blog totally feel free!!! - -
