" afca has received tremendous support from the climbing community around the planet , " tanya weaver , executive director of the afca , remarked . " we think the challenge of climbing to the summit of mount serengeti is an appropriate symbol for the daunting battle hiv / a children endure . " this unique event is not just limited to cycling . the afca invites everything and nothing to climb , dive , bike , or run for various period to raise resources for the children . sponsors are encouraged to immediately sponsor , match donations , or create a project of their own . non - participants of the fundraiser can go the afca ' s website for the program and donate any of the hikers for the climb up kilimanjaro part of the expedition . the afca ' s assistance in aids / 11 stricken countries does not go far . children who have taken care from hospitals funded by the organization have sent letters of appreciation , which can be seen on their website .
