The morning air was bitter cold, the kind of chill that bites into your bones, and Chaeli Mycroft hadn't slept a bit. She was exhausted. Her mind was spinning and she was nearly ready to give up on this challenge. It was a battle to convince herself to move forward. People tell you that summiting Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania will be one of the hardest days of your life. For Mycroft, it was even trickier than for the average person. Last week, the 21-year-old became the world's first female quadriplegic to summit Mount Kilimanjaro - the highest freestanding mountain in the world. "Emotionally it is really tiring to find the strength to keep going towards the summit. There are many dark moments on the mountain," Mycroft, who has cerebral palsy, recalled. "But when we reached Uhuru Peak there was such euphoria mixed with other emotions." Source: Yahoo
