Having conquered its largest mountain last month, I'm now back from Africa and have just shared my story in a very big way: on both the CBS Evening News and CBS This Morning.
Seems so long ago now, but just last month, along with my two best friends, I summitted Tanzania's Mount Kilimanjaro with the aim of inspiring others to rethink their own "possible," and with a goal of raising $750,000 for Free The Children's clean-water projects in Kenya. The climb, which I completed primarily on my hands, captured the attention of media around the world.

Last night it ramped up even more! I shared my story on the CBS Evening News in my first post-climb, sit-down interview with anchor, Scott Pelley, which was taped in Kenya. And this morning I had the humbling honour to appear on CBS This Morning for an in-studio interview with co-hosts Charlie Rose, Norah O'Donnell and Gayle King.It was such a thrill!
The climb has already received international coverage from the likes of ABC Nightly News, the BBC and People.com. But this dual CBS coverage represents a fantastic, unprecedented opportunity for the story of my incredible journey - and the Redefine Possible campaign, which to date has raised more than half a million dollars - to reach a combined audience of six million.
Check out the interviews on the links above, share them, and encourage everyone you know to redefine their possible. The climb is done, but we still haven't reached our goal of $750,000 for clean-water projects in Kenya. Please click here to donate.
Thank you!
