When I was researching the possibilty of climbing Kilimanjaro, I wouldl have benefited from books on the experience of climbing the mountain. I found there were mostly technical books. I found none that combined the climb with fundraising activities. I felt there was a need to be filled and that the experience of my son and myself could be useful to others who face mountains of any kind, whether they are large pieces of volcanic rock or simply day-to-day challenges.
