Petzl supports our trip by donating headlamps

I just wanted to let everyone know that we received a sponsorship from Petzl recently. They donated two of their 'top of the line' headlamps for brad to use on the trip. As you may or may not know yet, on summit day, we will be starting to hike around mid-night; with the goal of reaching Uhuru peak around sunrise. If brad were 100% blind- he would have no illumination needs at all, but since he has only 5% remaining, and has no night vision, his illumination needs are that much greater and that much more critical. I had solicited several companies about possible donations of gear for the trip, and PETZL was the only company to respond at all, let alone positively! Just wanted to send a HUGE thanks to Petzl for their generosity, and to ask anyone who has a headlamp need, to purchase a Petzl headlamp. They are the world-wide leader in quality of headlamps, and obviously will be helping Brad in summiting Mt. Kilimanjaro. Petzl is supporting us, so please support Petzl!
