Doing Stuff Outdoors-51

GO TO PROGRAM WEBPAGE

Last January world-class Canadian runner Alison Wiley and 11 other women in their 40's from the Toronto area stood on the summit of Africa's Mount Kilimanjaro. Their six day climb was an adventure of a lifetime for all of them.  It was also a way for Alison to help street kids in the nearby town of Moshi, Tanzania. The women used their climb to raise money for Amani Children’s Home, a facility that offers local kids food, clothing, love and hope. Our feature interview on this edition of DSO is with Alison Wiley.

If you're interested in learning more about climbing Kilimanjaro check out this video from Tusker Trail.  We have some great podsafe music on the show from Africa by African Cream Kids. Also some comments from Amy and Warren.  And Gary talks about his longest paddle ever, three days on the St John River.
