Training rigorously with hand cycling and wheelchair pushing, he’s not just chasing a summit; he’s rewriting limits for adaptive athletes and honoring his late wife by bringing her spirit to the top. Joining him is fellow paralyzed climber Matthew Castelluccio and a team of Connecticut high school students, all aiming for a life-changing sunset at the peak. Departing for Tanzania this Sunday, their journey will be live-streamed via Instagram accounts like AccessibilityAccelerator and Paratrek — proof that adventure, resilience, and love can rise above any obstacle.
