Climb to benefit Children of Chornobyl - target funding not achieved
Letter (update) from climber Bohdana Zwonok
The kili climb will start in less than 12 hours.
I just came back from a warm up climb, of Africa"s fourth highest summit, Mt Meru. (over 15 000ft).
It is said that it is the best acclimatisation prep for Kili.Extremely difficult, with close to zero visibility, snow showers and icy-slippery conditions. Bring on the elements ! !! The harder now, the better on Kili !
Never felt more stimulated in any of my previous climbs. Never have climbed as difficult a mountain !
Will rest for 12 hours, then off to the highest peak.
My spirits are higher than any of the African mountains. I am ready!
Thanks to all my supporters ! KYK Montreal has just joined the ranks of donators. The fundraising goal has not yet been acheived. Please show your generosity!
Regards,
Bohdana Mam Bo ( in Swahili, Mambo means OK)
Good omen!
Climber Bohdana Zwonok

From an earlier press release:
There is yet an American corporate sponsor to be found. Deadline for the corporate climbing sponsors: Feb 05 th, 2004, less than a week from today. A digital stills-camera is still needed for back-up equipment for the climb.
It has been almost 18 years since the Chornobyl nuclear disaster, and as the glacier is getting smaller, the insidious consequences of the Chornobyl tragedy are getting bigger...the invisible trail of the radiation contamination is leading more and more children to poorly equipped hospitals, cancer centres , orphanages and mental asylums...
The fundraising campaign for the Children of Chornobyl will be ongoing during the climb.
