Ted Tarrant is a long-time Calgarian (30+ years) who really enjoys traveling and physical challenges. A runner and cyclist (as well as an IT consultant…have to pay the bills!), he feels fortunate to have had the opportunity to visit many different parts of the world and take on a number of challenges, including hiking the West Coast Trail on Vancouver Island, cycling the west coast from Vancouver to San Francisco, doing a safari in Kenya and camping in the Saudi Arabian desert. Climbing Kilimanjaro has been a dream and goal of Ted’s since visiting Kenya in 1993.
He has been involved with the Artumas Group and the Artumas Africa Foundation over the past couple of years and is very excited to be able to realize a dream while helping disadvantaged people in Tanzania. As part of Ted’s employment with the Artumas Group, he was able to visit Tanzania several times in the past year and see first hand the challenges faced by its friendly and welcoming people. He feels that the challenge of climbing Kilimanjaro pales in comparison to what these people experience on a daily basis. Helping to provide children with an opportunity to get an education and achieve a better future is one of Ted’s main reasons for supporting the foundation.
And Ted thinks it would be really cool to drink a Kilimanjaro beer at the top of Kilimanjaro!
