He made it!... and is still alive minus 8 lbs, a few toe nails and some sore feet and knees! Larry Barnet and his son Brad completed the 7 day hike to the top of Mt. Kilimanjaro this past September, all while raising funds to dig new drinking wells in Kenya. Larry visited our club on October 26 to update us on the success of his trip and shared with us the enjoyment of his great accomplishment. The money he has raised so far has brought him half way to his $50,000 goal and will allow him to continue digging fresh water wells for the Kenyan communities. With the help of Rotary clubs like ours and Larry’s church, Larry has successfully completed 7 wells and plans to do more in addition to building facilities for hospital and educational purposes. Great Job Larry & Brad!
