Inspired by Seth Cochran's 2007 Summit For Smiles campaign, during which he raised $40,000 towards The Smile Train by climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro, Peak Life is to be a catalyst for positive change by supporting young high potential global leaders make an even greater impact by climbing one of the world's Seven Summits in an effort to raise money for a local charities.
Beginning with a second Mt. Kilimanjaro climb in January 2010 benefiting OperationOF, Peak Life will offer the ultimate Transformational Leadership experience by empowering and challenging high potential young global leaders to create their own personal campaigns for change, and recruiting a group of their peers to do the same.
Peak Life will provide connections to local charities, pre-trip fundraising support, personal websites and blogs, a network of like minded entrepreneurs who are willing to help them succeed, trip logistics, on sight transportation, climbing guides and local tours in order to enhance the success our campaigns.
During the trips, Peak Groups will have the privilege of volunteering at the very charity they raised money for and witnessing first hand the help they have given to those in need, climb one of the worlds Seven Summits, and enjoy the local culture. Although selected Peak Leaders will be provided with the best possible tools for making their campaigns a success, the fundraising will be a challenge the Peak Groups must take on themselves.
We are simply a catalyst for change; it is you who will determine your own impact.
Peak Life is now looking for the next generation of global leaders to join us on this transformational journey, gain extraordinary first hand leadership experience, and dramatically help those in need.
