Sylvia Tisdale was up for the task of climbing Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa's highest summit at 19,341 feet, even at the age of 70. On day three, she was forced to halt at 12,000 feet due to altitude sickness, but she still made it down to Pensacola happy and with a fresh sense of purpose. Tisdale, the founder, and pastor of Epps Christian Ministries, stated, "I've never done this in my life, and it was a lifelong experience. Tisdale was exhausted before to the climb after years of feeding the needy and homeless in Pensacola. In all honesty, she was considering her role outside of the soup kitchen. Ruth Tisdale, her daughter, had an idea, so the two of them started preparing in January to tick Mount Kilimanjaro off their bucket lists. Sylvia launched a GoFundMe with a $25,000 fundraising target to assist in filling their storage containers so they could keep feeding the poor in Brownsville. Since January, she has gone to Planet Fitness every day for a workout. The gym was so moved by her humanitarian activities that it donated her $20,000 to further her cause. To help feed the needy in Pensacola, Sylvia Tisdale, the founder and pastor of Epps Christian Ministries, treks Mount Kilimanjaro. Before heading to Tanzania for the climb, the mother and daughter spent some time traveling and doing a safari in Kenya. They left on June 2. They began their ascent on June 9 at 1 p.m. at Londrossi Gate, and on the first day, they ascended for six hours. Tisdale was feeling okay at that moment. The two separated from their party of eight the next day to slow down since the effects of the altitude were starting to affect them. They traveled a little more slowly than the others, but after eight

Today marks 33 years since Polish mountaineer Jerzy Kukuczka passed away while climbing Lhotse on October 24, 1989. A true legend of high-altitude Himalayan mountaineering, Kukuczka was the second person, after Reinhold Messner, to ascend all fourteen Eight-thousanders. His experience is staggering. He scaled all 14 8,000-meter peaks on the planet in eight years, including four during the winter. He was among the first to regularly climb above 8,000 meters without additional oxygen and a pioneer of the Alpine style. He accomplished all of this on a low budget, using homemade and secondhand equipment, plus funds obtained in his native Poland through hard labour and shady business dealings. Jerzy Kukuczka of Poland passed away on this day thirty-three years ago while attempting to scale the unclimbed south face of Lhotse in Nepal. He is widely regarded as one of the greatest high-altitude climbers of all time, but his claim to fame may be that he is the second person in history to successfully summit all 14 eight-thousanders. Despite the evident economic difficulty Poland was going through under the Communist government, he accomplished this on September 18, 1987, just eleven months after Reinhold Messner, and in less than eight years. However, Kukuczka's legacy can be found in the immaculate quality of his ascents, not in the enormous number of routes, the speed of his climbs, or the renowned "Himalayan Crown" distinction. Often compared to Reinhold Messner Reinhold Messner, with whom he competed to complete the so-called Crown of the Himalayas, is frequently compared with Kukuczka. Even though Kukuczka completed the race faster and with more flair, Messner still prevailed. Take nothing away from Messner, who established six new routes on summits higher than 8,000 meters. Kukuczka scorched 10, If given the option, he declared, "I would always choose the path less
