Five Months To Go - and - Well done Team Kili!

By Isabelle Privé

Team Kili's countdown continues with the arrival of Spring. We're all busy with preparations - training, vaccinations and final purchases of material. Our departure is approaching fast and the level of excitement is steadily rising.

We've watched our Team-Everest friends set out and return, read their commentaries and seen their photos. The story of their journey (which was far from easy) is helping us stick to training and preparations for our own adventure.

A lot is going on at 5 months from departure. The journey still seems a long way away; on the other hand, time is going so quickly that it sometimes feels more like the day before take-off. There's still so much to do! More fund-raising, hikes, runs and training sessions. It's crazy how quickly the last 15 months have flown by!

More than ever, we must make the most of each moment because everything's going so fast. We want to be able to remember every detail of our preparations for this adventure. It's so true that the journey is as important as the destination. Enjoy the moment before it's gone forever!

Well Done Team-Kili!


A resounding "Well done" to the gang for having delivered the most beautiful chocolate animals for Easter. The SCD social club decided to encourage us by asking us to supply Easter chocolates for their members this year. Once again, Janie and Sylvain's kitchen was turned into a chocolate factory for the confection of 350 hand-painted and gift-wrapped chocolate animals for Easter. As usual, team-spirit and fun dominated the scene and everyone contributed. We were rewarded by delighted feed-back on our works of art by the members of the social club.

We wish to thank them for their encouragement.
A special thank you to Janie and Sylvain for their hospitality.   BRAVO to everyone for a job well done!
