Kilimanjaro Challenge

Three disabled men reach the top of Mount Kilimanjaro

Aleksandr D’Jamoos-Shulchev, Ivan Gorbatenko and Aleksandr Pokhilko are determined to conquer Kilimanjaro and prove to themselves and the whole world that nowhere is off limits to them. Together with their team of hikers, they set out on this exhausting five-day journey to raise funds to treat children with physical disabilities in Russia. They also hope that their example will inspire disabled children to follow their dreams and to always believe in themselves.
