I had the honor of meeting this gentleman on Sunday. His name is Chris Waddell and he is a paraplegic. On March 13, 2009 he will attempt the first paraplegic summit of Mt. Kilimanjaro. At 19,340 feet, Mount Kilimanjaro is the tallest mountain in Africa and the tallest freestanding mountain in the world. He has a website, one-revolution.com, which tells you all about the upcoming event, as well as about Chris's life and the things he does to raise awareness for those with disabilities. I was struck by his motto on the website:
"One revolution means so many things to me. One revolution of the handcycle, one revolution of the earth, one lifetime, one moment, one chance to make a difference."
So, take the time to look at this website and decide how you want to spend the one revolution that you have... this lifetime.

Wow! What an amazing inspiration. Kilimanjaro is one of Matt's lifetime goals, I can't imagine climbing it with a handicap. How did you meet him?
that is awesome! You always have the best music too! xoxo
