On November 30th, 2018 I will be undertaking the challenge of cycling in Central Park, New York City to the top of "Mt Everest." The term for this challenge is called Everesting.
What is Everesting?
It involves riding a bike repeatedly up and down the same hill until one reaches the height of Mt. Everest (29,029 feet). Extended breaks or breaks for sleep are not permitted. Since its inception in the mid 1990's there have been less than 3,000 people who successfully completed the challenge. More information about Everesting click here visit the official Everesting website.
I am challenging myself to raise money to provide the porters essential supplies on the real Everest and Kilimanjaro climbs. Porters play an essential role in helping travelers from all around the world reach the summits of these mountains.
For me climbing Mt Kilimanjaro was a personal challenge, like thousands of other people throughout the world who decide to try and conquer Africa's highest mountain. It is a once in a lifetime accomplishment I will cherish and look back on with great pride. But that accomplishment was only possible by the men and women who make it their way of life to support their families. Guides, cooks and porters who are specially trained to support climbers from around the world throughout the assent and assist them in reaching the summit. The porters, who carry all of your food and gear, are the heart and soul of the journey. Without their strength, dedication and hard work, you would not be able to reach your goal of making it to the summit. The climb for most adventure seekers is challenging enough, with an overall success rate of 66% of travelers making it to the summit. The average weight on a traveler's back is 8 to 10 pounds in a day pack. The average weight on the shoulders of the porters is a 32 pound dufflebag, which they start carrying from the rain forest, then for days as they trek through three other climate zones until they reach the blistering cold of the artic zone.
Throughout my climb I saw porters ill-equipped for the extreme climate of the mountain, not even having basic necessities, for example, holes in their shoes, no socks, gloves, coats, hats or proper clothing, just to name a few. But yet, they endure these harsh conditions just to be able to provide for their family and I never heard one of them complain. Their dedication and indominable spirit has inspired me to endure my own test of will to help raise money, as well as awareness for the much needed supplies for porters.

All money raised will go to the purchase of supplies that these porters desperately. If you are planning on climbing a mountain that uses porters, please use companies that are members of an organization that support the ethical and responsible treatment of porters, such as KPAP for Kilimanjaro.
