High School Junior Climbs Kilimanjaro in Support of One Revolution

Brandon Gell is a Junior at Horace Greeley High School. Inspired by Chris’ determination after meeting him at Horace Greeley High School in 2009, Brandon decided to take action:

“After Chris made his first appearance at Horace Greeley, I began thinking of the obstacles in my life, and they quickly became insignificant. Chris had a determination and a way of motivating that inspired me to push my own boundaries. A seed was planted which took root two years later. On June 28, 2011, together with my dad and sister, I will be climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro in support of the One Revolution Foundation.”-Brandon

We will follow his climb at www.one-revolution.org
