Reseña del editor:

“The 2011 Leap of Faith: Mount Kilimanjaro expedition paired 14 climbers who had either multiple sclerosis or Parkinson’s disease with 14 companion climbers. As with other expeditions, the summit loomed large in the hopes and dreams of the climbers. In the end, 21 of the 28 Leap of Faith team members would indeed make it to the top. But for all the men and woman on this trip, the climb had a higher purpose: to carry the light of hope and a message of strength to the highest reaches of both our planet and the human spirit.
These are their stories—stories of fear and pain, of the courage to dig deep into that well of strength that lies within us all, and the willingness to try and try again, even in the face of insurmountable odds. Here are stories of shared joy and faith, stories of people who are more than climbers, on a climb of a peak that was more than a mountain, on an expedition that was more than a climbing journey.Here are the stories of a Leap of Faith.” – EXCERPT BY JEFF RENNICKE, 2011 LEAP OF FAITH: MOUNT KILIMANJARO EXPEDITION PHOTOGRAPHER
“Without question, these stories will inspire you and leave you in awe of the power and beauty of the human spirit.” - Phil Bolsta, author of Through God's Eyes: Finding Peace and Purpose in a Troubled World
"An exhilarating adventure on many levels worth reading." - Christopher Luzzio, MD, Neurologist
"I have read all the exciting books by Krauker and Viesturs regarding climbing; More than a Mountain can be proudly shelved next to them.” - Dr. Jay L. Alberts, President and Founder, Pedaling for Parkinsons

Through her company Empowerment Through Adventure, Lori shares her story and inspires people to be all that they can be and to live their own dreams, whatever they may be, one step at a time. Lori’s message... if we believe, we can achieve.
