Congratulations to Chris Waddell & the One-Revolution team on a successful summit of Mount Kilimanjaro!!!! At 19,340 feet, Kilimanjaro is the tallest mountain in Africa and the tallest freestanding mountain in the world. Waddell has just become the FIRST paraplegic to summit the mountain, using the appropriately named Bomba (pictured above)—a one-of-a-kind, 4-wheel handcycle propelled entirely be arm power.

This is an inspirational story… it makes one realize the power of the human mind and what a person can achieve if he or she is determined enough…
Also puts the rest of us who have been blessed with no disabilities to shame for our laziness..
