Mount Kosciusko

March 10, 2015 we summited Mt Kosciusko in Australia.  We now only have 2 of the seven summits remaining! This is by far the easiest of the seven summits and the only one we summited in shorts and the only one that took just a day to complete, other than all the travel needed to get to the land down under. We set out for the summit early, under perfect skies, we hiked and jogged our way to the summit having the entire mountain to ourselves. As the highest peak in Australia at 7300' it was nice to have a easy stroll for one of the 7 summits. . . We again fly the flags  high in your honor!! 




Kilimanjaro 2015: Helping Kili Cancer

Kilimanjaro 2015- This year we had 100% of our climbers reach the summit of Mt. Kilimanjaro, 19,341 feet. This was an 8 day journey to the rooftop of Africa. This is the fourth time Radiating Hope has been on Kilimanjaro.  The purpose of this annual climb is, as Dr. Larry Daugherty stated, "We're building a cancer center in East Africa because we believe that dignity and hope aren't western commodities reserved for the global elite; they are human rights that should be made available to all." One of our climbers, Colby Thackery, reached the all-time fundraising record!! Colby is Incredible!! Colby climbed in honor of his mom, carrying her prayer flag to the summit! After coming off the summit he said, "Top of Kili . . . . hardest thing I've ever done. BY FAR! Wanted to stop a number of times after 18000' but my mom never stopped. So that wasn't an option. Literally had a hard time at the top putting one foot in front of the other"
