Hello,
My name's Louis Hamelin and I've been a section director at Desjardins for several years.
It was a colleague who told me about the project. I'm a great lover of the open air and of wide open spaces, as those who know me can tell you. So - I lost no time in signing on to this adventure.
For me, climbing Kilimanjaro is, most importantly, a way to test and surpass my physical and mental limits and also a time for introspection. I'm convinced that I'll come through this adventure transformed by living in close contact with the team, by experiencing completely different surroundings and exacting and destabilising conditions.
I'm familiar with the dangers of mountain sickness after staying in the Peruvian Andes at 4 000 meters. It's a calculated risk for anyone who wants to experience the beauty of high places.
I don't practise any particular sport but I'm always on the move. I rowed for several years and I do downhill skiing, I cycle and I've just added jogging. Even if you're in the best of health and very fit, mountain sickness can still hit you.
I'm very keen and excited at the idea of doing this climb in Africa with my colleagues.
Youppi!!!!!
