Climbing the Mountain Together

The Story of Jim Milina

Jim Milina sat in the bright sun at the saddle of Africa's Mount Kilimanjaro at an altitude of 14,500 feet and wept. "It was then I realized we'd done it," he said. "It was absolutely amazing. We were on top of the world."

Thousands of people climb Mount Kilimanjaro each year... but what makes Jim's story unusual and most interesting is that he can't walk. Jim is a quadriplegic.
