Ep. 15 - 85-Year-Old Climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro—TWICE | Anne Lorimer
Most people dream of adventure. Anne Lorimer actually lives it.
At 85, she climbed Mount Kilimanjaro. At 89, she did it again—with broken ribs.

But she never quit.
In this episode, Anne shares:
- How she went from struggling to survive to setting world records
- What kept her moving forward—even in the hardest times
- Why she believes staying active is the key to a long, happy life
- Her mission to help disadvantaged kids break the cycle of poverty
- Her next adventure—because at 95, she’s still going
If you’ve ever thought you were too old or too late to chase a big dream, this episode will change you!
