About this Event

Join us as we embark on an extraordinary journey with Karen Power, a remarkable 70-year-old grandmother who defied expectations and conquered the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro. This inspiring presentation will take you through her six-day trek, highlighting the challenges, triumphs, and magical moments that shaped her experience.

Discover the physical and mental preparation required for such a demanding expedition and learn about the unique beauty and cultural richness of the African wilderness. Through stunning visuals and personal anecdotes, Karen will share her insights and motivations, inspiring audiences of all ages to pursue their dreams, no matter the obstacles.

About the presenter: Karen Power is a retired college professor, a grandmother of four, a volunteer trail maintainer, and an educator at local parks. Her long-distance hikes include the 1100-mile Florida Trail, the 1400-mile Buckeye Trail, the 480-mile French Way on the Camino de Santiago, and others. Karen’s 3,000+ miles of long hiking have inspired a non-lucrative hobby as a freelance writer, cartoonist, and writing coach.
