2011 Kilimanjaro Climb for the Royal Alexandra Hospital
From August 8–19, a group of doctors and business professionals who support the Royal Alexandra Hospital embarked on a great journey to Africa’s rooftop—the peak of Mount Kilimanjaro.
Each climber made a commitment to raise funds for the new Orthopedic Surgery Centre at the Royal Alexandra Hospital, which is a building that is dedicated solely to hip and knee replacements, and is at the forefront of orthopedics research.
The Perry Homes/Tapestry Homes team sponsored this initiative corporately for $50,000, and the owners—Burke and Bill—and their spouses not only did the incredible climb, but they also individually raised pledges to support this great cause. The overall team goal was to raise $575,000, but with the combined efforts of all the climbers, more than $800,000 was raised!
