Groves, Derek.
The Roof of Africa on Wheels:
(Alfresco Books, 1999).
Commentary by Jon Amos. Foreword by Chris Bonnington. Jon Amos became a paraplegic following a road accident when just 17. Since then he has advanced the awareness of what a person with a disability can achieve by the challenges he has personally undertaken, raising thousands of pounds for charity in the process. In 1998 he attained an altitude record by someone in a wheelchair - 16,040 feet up Mount Kilimanjaro. This book vividly describes the preparation and actual ascent by Jon and the team. With a fascinating selection of colour photographs, this story of Jon's grit and determination, and the dedicated teamwork of those who accompanied him, makes inspiring reading. Paperback. Fine. 104pp. Order No. NSBK-A6269
Keywords: 1873727119, Africa, African, Derek Groves, Alfresco Books, Jon Amos, Chris Bonnington, wheelchairs, mountains, mountaineering, disabilities, disability, teamwork, climbing, Mount Kilimanjaro, twentieth century, paraplegics, paraplegic sports, Moshi International School, Moshi Club, Tanzania, wheelchair sport, British Wheelchair Sports Foundation, Marangu Gate, Tanzanian National Parks, TANAPA, Arusha, Mkombozi Street Kids Project, Kishari Orphanage, Mandara Hut, Brice Bennett's Trekking Lodge, Horombo, Kibo, Mwereni Primary School, Kilimanjaro Christian Medical Centre, KCMC, Arusha National Park, Ngurdoto Crater, Momella Lodge, Poverty Africa, Cyclone Wheelchairs
