2025 Kilimanjaro Climb for a Cause
In 2025, a group of determined Sheep Dogs will embark on a monumental journey to the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro. This climb is more than just a physical challenge; it’s a powerful symbol of the perseverance, resilience, and unbreakable spirit that Sheep Dog Impact Assistance (SDIA) fosters in those who have served.
