Charity Mission Summits2Hearts Have Summited the Highest Freestanding Mountain in the World

NEW YORK, Feb. 26, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- On February 14th, at 07.00 am Tanzanian time Anastasiia Zaitseva has reached the highest summit of the African continent and the tallest freestanding mountain in the world – Mount Kilimanjaro (19,341') in Tanzania. "This expedition was supposed to be just a warm-up before my other mountains from the 7 Summits program, but I wouldn't say it was easy. I started the summit push at midnight, without getting any sleep and being awake since 5 am the day before. A few hours after we left the camp, the severe wind began and made the climb more difficult. But every step felt easier as I knew that my climb has a purpose and kids in developing countries are already receiving cardiac care. To date, I was able to raise more than $5,000 for Save a Child's Heart (SACH) - a global humanitarian organization. And it's only the beginning" – comments Anastasiia.
