Kilimanjaro Rocks Against Cancer
12/03/2008
.
(PR) The Love Hope Strength Foundation (LHS), an international foundation dedicated to fighting cancer with existing resources in countries around the world, today announced plans for another musical journey, this time in East Africa. Dubbed "Kilimanjaro Rocks", the 12 day journey, slated for September and early October of 2009, will include a lengthy trek to the summit of Africa's highest mountain, camping in the solace of the Tanzanian wilderness, and visits with local cancer patients. The effort is the latest in a series of "Rocks" events that combine music, traveling and trekking to raise money and provide resources for those affected by cancer.
LHS recently made global headlines and built an international army of volunteers for their record-breaking hike and concert on Mt. Everest and musical trek to Machu Picchu, Peru. As with Everest Rocks, where LHS supporters bought Nepal its first mammography and internal radiation machines, and Peru Rocks, where funds raised lead to a mobile cancer care unit, LHS is dedicated to finding a practical and tangible use for monies raised that will help East Africans.
With headquarters in Denver and chapters in Dallas, the U.K., Peru and Australia, LHS is bringing support to its 6th continent in less than 2 years time, providing critical funding and awareness for cancer centers worldwide.
