Thursday, June 21, 2007 the adventure begins for five Edmontonians from Alberta, Canada who will attempt to summit Mount Kilimanjaro with Berg Adventures International.

With the generous support of The Edmonton Sun, they have turned the adventure into "The Sun's Climb for Kids presented by Edmonton Airports" program. Through the media attention it's received, this climb for a cause has generated thousands of dollars and new volunteers for one of Canada's leading children's charities, Big Brothers Big Sisters and its In-School Mentoring Program.

We hope you enjoy the dispatches from their adventure. 

Please support Big Brothers Big Sisters, click here to be taken to the donation section of their website.  100% of your funds go to their in-school mentoring program, working to reduce the waiting list.
