Amputee and paraplegic summit Kilimanjaro

 

How’s this for inspiring? Climber Erica Davis, who has been paraplegic for four years, and her partner Tara Butcher, who has been a below-the-knee amputee for almost 5 years, have just reached the summit of Mt. Kilimanjaro. The women are both athletic to begin with, but by raising awareness of how to stay strong through injuries that would bury most of us emotionally, these two are not just athletic, but heroes. The project is still open for donations.

Check out the trailer for the upcoming documentary being made on their climb here:
