From the Long Trail to Kilimanjaro: A Woman’s Journey to Wellness through Mountain Climbing
Kara Richardson Whitely
Friday, February 19, 7 p.m.
Meeting Hall, GMC Visitor Center, Waterbury Center

At age thirty, Kara Richardson Whitely dreamed of climbing mountains, but struggled to reach peaks because of her weight. Rather than give up, she decided to follow her dreams. Hear about her journey back to her childhood, to the summits of Camel’s Hump and Mount Mansfield, to the bottom of the Grand Canyon, and recently to the top of Africa’s highest peak—Mount Kilimanjaro. An inspirational evening of stories and pictures documenting Kara’s adventures and her journey to wellness along the way.
