http://www.statenews.com After watching Africa’s tallest mountain on the big screen at age 13, Britt Larson made conquering Mount Kilimanjaro her personal goal. “You always hear about Mount Kilimanjaro, but after I saw an Imax film when I was around 13 years old, it’s been on my to-do list ever since,” the zoology sophomore said. “For the last five or six years I’ve really wanted to climb it.” en-us Foundry4 Tue, 07 Oct 2008 15:33:03 -0400 Thu, 17 Apr 2008 18:31:17 -0400 webmaster@statenews.com http://www.statenews.com/index.php/comment/15789/view Great story!

Everyone needs to understand that all the money goes for such a worthy cause (and over 96% of it with only 4% going to the fundraisers) Thu, 17 Apr 2008 13:21:22 -0400 http://www.statenews.com/index.php/comment/15810/view http://www.statenews.com/index.php/comment/15845/view Hey guys, Thanks for the support! Just note that the shipment is going to Tanzania, not South Africa as the 2nd paragraph indicates. Thu, 17 Apr 2008 18:31:17 -0400 http://www.statenews.com/index.php/comment/15845/view
