Salt Lake Tribune: Chris Waddell sets his sights on Africa’s highest peak

Salt Lake Tribune: Chris Waddell sets his sights on Africa’s highest peak: “The bottom of the mountain has always been the finish line for Chris Waddell, and getting there fast was rarely a problem. This June, the end will come 19,340 feet above sea level and may be painfully slow. Should he make it to the top of Mount Kilimanjaro – the highest point in Africa – Waddell would be the first known paraplegic to do so. It is a feat he hopes to achieve not only for himself, but for every person with a disability and, perhaps even more important, anybody with a dream. “
