Once left paralyzed from the waist down after a skiing accident, Katie was told she would likely never walk again. But this Thursday, August 7th, she will climb Mt. Kilimanjaro -- and for a good cause!

Katie will be climbing as part of a fundraising effort to benefit a volunteer organization called May We Help which invents, modifies or adapts devices that improve the quality of life for those with physical disabilities.

The fundraiser, called Raising Kilimanjaro, was created by Eric Oberwise in January 2014 with a goal of $20,000. He will be joining Katie on the climb, which will be an epic ending to the 2.5 months that he has already spent in Africa working as a volunteer engineer. More about his experience can be read on his blog: http://emoberwise.tumblr.com/
