His face is hidden but his passion for adventure is not! Kevin Cherilla will team up with Freedom For Life in the 2008 ascent on Mt. Kilimanjaro. Kevin is no stranger to Mt. Kili as he has led numerous groups of all ages and abilities to the summit. If you don't know Kevin check out his personal bio."I grew up in Pittsburgh, PA and moved to the desert of Phoenix,Arizona in 1993 where I began rock climbing with the Arizona Mountaineering Club. I have been mountaineering for almost two decades and my adventures have taken me to six continents and over 20 countries. Since 1995, I have had the privilege of traveling the world with world-class, blind adventurer Erik Weihenmayer: rock and ice climbing, running marathons, biking, and mountaineering. Our adventures over the years have been featured on the front cover of TIME, Outside, Climbing, and Weekly Reader magazines. We have also been featured on the Oprah Show, Jay Leno, David Letterman, and many world news programs. I served as base camp manager for the NFB 2001 Everest Expedition during which Weihenmayer became the first blind person to summit Mt. Everest and our team broke five world records! Our Mt. Everest documentary, "Farther Than the Eye Can See", has won 20 international film festival awards, along with several Emmy's.” Learn more about Kevin Cherilla.
