Seven Summits
Today’s WSJ (subscription required) has a great story about a quite different S. African team that is attempting the same feat:
They were an unlikely duo when they joined forces in late 2005. Gilad Stern is a South African entrepreneur and former aide to Israeli peace negotiators. Evelina Tshabalala, a fellow South African, runs marathons, lives in a squatters camp and is infected with the AIDS virus.
The article goes on to describe the challenges that Ms. Tshabalala has faced and is striving to overcome- including the drowning death of her son, extreme poverty, and the AIDS virus.
