This book is truly an adventure shared with the reader.
Shots, so much more than just buying backpacks, boots and warm clothing. Imagine going through the same preparations and planning as Barry and Chrisĭescribed in order to give themselves the best possible chance for success.įitness training, medical examinations, including consultation withĭoctors experienced in foreign travel, miles of hiking and biking, immunization Barry and Chris were finalists in the Eric Hoffer First Horizon contest for best new authors and Barry was named one of the top "50 Writes You Should Be Reading" by the Authors Show.Īmazon - After reading the first few chapters, I knew this would be a book I would have Kilimanjaro and Beyond was named by Reader Views in 2012 as the best inspirational/spiritual book and best book on an environmental issue. It is a journey that leaves the two with the lasting impression that nothing is more satisfying than reaching a goal and giving others the opportunity to achieve theirs. Follow along as he and his son strive to climb one of the World's Seven Summits, meet the children who will benefit from their fundraising, and come to an understanding that one or two people really can make a difference. For Barry, this is a life-changing physical, mental and spiritual adventure. The donors have contributed to providing classrooms and clean water for desperately deserving school children in Tanzania. Barry's backpack holds a Canadian flag with the names of over 200 donors mobilized by the climbers back home.
Their destination is tantalizingly close, yet the weather and - more importantly - their health will determine the end result. It is January 16, 2009, and 60 year-old BARRY FINLAY and his son CHRIS are propped against a rock, struggling to draw a breath on their treacherous climb up Mount Kilimanjaro.
