Climbing Kilimanjaro - Softcover

It's 1990, and in Gaynsford, Boyzie strives desperately to get his life back on track, whilst three visually impaired men travel the country, promoting their ambitious plan to conquer Kilimanjaro.

John Broome was born in New Silksworth, Sunderland, County Durham in June 1947. He has been blind since birth, and was educated in a number of "special" schools throughout the country. At the age of 16 and a half years, he went to an Assessment Centre in Reigate, Surrey, where he met his future wife, Kathleen. John Broome moved from the South-East to Derbyshire in August of 1969, and he and Kathleen were married in June 1970. John works for a Charitable Association, and has been attempting to write a novel for over 30 years. But two and a half years ago, after a long illness and several major operations, he decided to endeavour to make his dream a reality. Now, he is about to see the culmination of his dream as, following the successful publication of his first novel "The Boyzie Trilogy", his second novel "Climbing Kilimanjaro" is now published. John Broome is now almost 61 years of age, and has recently undergone training with his fifth guide dog - the "Lady Olivia" - he loves life and lives it to the full, despite his visual impairment.
