POA Patients to Climb Mt. Kilimanjaro! — How to Support “Team Leg-a-Manjaro”

In January 2014, an all POA team of amputees with various levels of amputation will undertake an incredible challenge — they will bravely attempt to climb over 19,000 feet to the summit of Mt. Kilimanjaro!!!! In doing so they hope to provide inspiration for other amputees and demonstrate that a disability doesn’t determine where you can go; it merely determines where your start. 🙂 Please consider helping this remarkable group
