ONE MOUNTAIN AT A TIME From #Vancouver to #Ottawa – In Support of #ZaraCharity Tracy Pepper was diagnosed with #ovariancancer at the tender age of 10 and was not expected to survive. Miraculously she did and she has devoted her life to charitable work in support of others. INSPIRED Whilst #climbingKilimanjaro, Pepper connected with the local #African people who were under equipped and in need of warm clothing in order to support and help the thousands of Western people reach the summit of that treacherous #mountain which hits lows in minus 20 degrees Celsius. She donated her own personal items to a few of the porters who had very little. That small gesture was all it took to spark the inspiration to appeal to her friends in #Canada – to donate unwanted winter clothing for the Porters of Kilimanjaro. FOR TANZANIA WITH LOVE THE OBJECTIVE To drive across Canada with an appeal to collect unwanted winter clothing – jackets, hats, gloves, boots, socks, thermal undergarments – as well as school supplies and children’s clothing for the orphanage and children of Tanzania. They will drive through #BritishColumbia, through #Calgary & #Edmonton, stopping in #Winnipeg, #Sudbury, #Toronto with their final destination – #theNation’s Capital – #Ottawa. On September 4th, 2014 their #journey will continue as they fly from Toronto to #Kilimanjaro to work with Zara Charity on their numerous projects across #Tanzania as well as helping to distribute the items they collected to the people. They will collect: • Lightweight warm winter jackets • Warm boots suitable for hiking • Dry wicking long underwear • Wool or fleece hats, gloves, scarves, etc. • Camping supplies • School supplies – pens, pencils, notebooks • Digital cameras, electronic equipment (in working condition) Last year Tracy Pepper climbed #MountKilimanjaro to raise awareness of #OvarianCancer. She was given the #African name “Pendo” by her new friends. The name means “Love”. Tracy teamed with Zara Charity from Tanzania who supports the porters as well as orphans and the community.
