Now here's your host, Kurt Linville.

Hey friends, did you hear it? On Wednesday's episode, the big announcement finally came out,

0:27.1

and that announcement is, I'm joining a group of old guys who are climbing Kilimanjaro in January

0:34.0

to raise money for a humanitarian organization that rescues homeless children off the

0:39.5

streets in Africa. The organization is called We See Hope. And each man climbing Kilimanjaro is raising a

0:47.2

dollar a foot. We're rounding up, so that's $20,000 per person. We're trying to raise $300,000 to help rescue the children off the streets in Africa.

1:52.9

think might be interested in being a part of this sort of an effort can easily hear what we're up to.

2:00.1

Now, I want to sweeten the pot a little bit. This is a big one.

2:05.5

Are you ready for this? If you have a business, I know that many of the thousands of listeners

that listen in to the Adventure Sports podcast or even people that have been on the Adventure Sports
