DESCRIPTION

Rotarian John Tabor with the Charlotte Rotary Club documents his trip with 30 Rotarians from District 7680 to climb Mt. Kilimanjaro September 10-15, 2012. The climb was an effort to raise awareness and funds for Rotary International's End Polio Now campaign.

It is estimated that over $100,000 was raised to eradicate polio as a result of each climbers contributions and efforts to secure sponsors.
