DES MOINES — Above + Beyond Cancer is extremely excited to announce that they will take a group of cancer survivors and caregivers to Africa to climb Mt. Kilimanjaro next summer! The dates for the journey are June 14 – 24, 2023.
The team of 32 cancer survivors and caregivers will fly overnight from Des Moines to Kilimanjaro, Tanzania, Africa. They will participate in a medical mission on day one of the journey. On day two the group will begin their fully guided trek to the top of Mt. Kilimanjaro by hiking through diverse climates and ever-changing geography, taking the climbers from near sea level to heights beyond 19,000 feet in elevation.
There will be scholarships available to cancer survivors and support for all journey team members who would like to do fundraising.
Those who are interested in climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro with Above + Beyond Cancer in June 2023, are asked to fill-out an application by Midnight on Monday, January 9. Application are available through the Above + Beyond Cancer website at https://aboveandbeyondcancer.org/journey-application.
