Kai Fitchen!
17 year old, who has been diagnosed with Epilepsy. HE ALSO LIKES MOUNTAINS!
As a teenager he has climbed MT. Kilimanjaro(2009) and North Face of Mt. Elbrus (Europe's highest- July 2010) for Epilepsy South Africa with one goal in mind, which was to raise awareness of the condition.
He was chosen for the Pangaea Mike Horn Young Explorers Program (YEP) to the Himalayas(June 2010). This gives him an opportunity to challenge another passion of his, ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES! During the 5th PANGAEA expedition the team did research concerning Climate Change on Baltorro glacier as well as summiting an uncharted peak, which they got to name, Pangaea Peak(6170m)!!- near K2
