Ngong Hills: The Pain, The Pleasure, and Everything In-Between

I knew it wasn’t going to be easy. You don’t just decide to summit seven mountains, including Mt. Kenya and Kilimanjaro, without some serious preparation—or so I’d been told. Ngong Hills was the first challenge, my kickoff for Heights Unseen. The idea is to show that disability isn’t what most people think it is. We’re not limited; we’re just playing with different cards. And, of course, we’re raising money for a great cause: 4,000 white canes for the visually impaired. So, there I was, strapping on my boots, bracing myself, and ready to face the first hill.

Preparation was tough, though. Muscles were aching in places I didn’t even know I had. I nonchalantly thought to myself, Hey, I’ve done Ngong before—in jeans, no less. So how hard could it be, right? Well, this time was different. Coming down those hills was going to be a whole new experience. I’d be feeling every single step.
