This accomplishment was all the more awe-inspiring, considering his prior experience had never taken him beyond 4,000 feet, and he had never even spent a night in a sleeping bag.

    Fast forward to June 2023, Macon completed his 50th summit of Kilimanjaro and has penned abook, “Sons of Kilimanjaro”. Today, Macon's boundless enthusiasm for exploration has found its purpose as he leads others on transformative voyages through a partnership with Zara Tour, based in Tanzania.

    Meet Leigh Lincoln:

    Leigh Lincoln has spent the better part of the last thirty years involved in homeless and poverty advocacy in one way or another. Her novel – Road Home – was born out of this work. She wanted to make people think about their lives and how they live. Her other novels - Road to Freedom, Finding the Real Road, and The Road West, form her series Broken Roads. Each shows how life is raw and painful and often leads us on journeys we never expected or imagined. Leigh loves to travel, paint and hike. You never know where she'll end up next, for she's on her own journey of discovery.
