It was mental strength, rather than physicality that Emma Harrison gained from scaling a mountain. This is a wonderful story from Emma who was a team member on the inaugural 2013 Peak Potential Charity Adventures Mt Kilimanjaro Charity Challenge in support of Make-A-Wish Australia. Feeling very unwell at 4,600m just as we were about to head off on summit night, Emma overcome the odds to successfully summit Mt Kilimanjaro using raw courage and determination and along the way, learnt some mega life lessons that she shares below. Mega Life Lessons Spending seven days sleeping in a tent in sub-zero temperatures, without showers. Relentlessly climbing in the same dirty and dusty clothes every day. Using a bucket as a toilet or squatting behind a rock. When climbing Mount Kilimanjaro, I found a resilience I honestly didnt know I had. With decreasing oxygen causing headaches, nausea, vomiting and delirium, I realised pretty quickly that this charity-climb isnt for the faint hearted. Or for the well-manicured (it wasnt going to be pretty). But heres what I learnt. peakpotential.net.au/mega_life-lessons/
