Sahayta board member conquers Kilimanjaro!

Sahayta US board member, Amish Gandhi recently scaled Mt. Kilimanjaro and dedicated it to Sahayta and our mission. Here is his story...

Several years ago, Guru, a friend of mine and I decided to climb Mt. Kilimanjaro. We talked about it and planned it, but then work and life took over and I didn't join Guru on the quest. He proceeded to climb it successfully, and dedicated his climb to Sahayta [Link: http://www.sahayta.org/1/post/2006/12/sahayta-supporter-scales-mt-kilimanjaro.html]. Fast forward 8 years, and I decided I was ready to take on the challenge. 

When I began the climb, the summit of Kilimanjaro seemed so far away, with 4000 meters of altitude between me and the summit. And also a rain forest, rocky facades, an alpine desert, rain, ice, snow and chilling temperatures. The summit seemed impossible to achieve, but at any given time what was possible was a step in its direction. Some steps were easier than others, and some were very tough and even painful. But none more impossible than how far the summit appeared. 

I see a parallel in the battle against cancer, a steeper, jagged and more colossal mountain. Every medical breakthrough, helping hand, donation, medication or surgery is a step towards overcoming this tormentor. Sahayta does its best to contribute steps along the way to overcome this overwhelming bane. Every single step matters and can make a difference.

I dedicate my climb to Sahayta and hope you support its noble cause by clicking here [Link: http://www.sahayta.org/donate.html].
