HBA NORTHERN NEW JERSEY PRESENTS

Postponed: Moving Mountains: Journey From the Depths of Self-Doubt to the Top of Mt. Kilimanjaro

This event is currently postponed and registration is closed. Registration will reopen when a new event date has been finalized. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Kara Richardson Whitely will share her raw and inspiring story of her ascent from the depths of self-doubt to the top of the world -- and how to tackle obstacles and push beyond your own limits.

Kara knew she could reach the summit of Mt. Kilimanjaro. She had done it once before. That’s why, when she failed in a second attempt, it brought her so low. Struggling with food addiction/binge eating disorder and looking for ways to cope with feelings of abandonment, failure and shame, Kara ballooned to over three hundred pounds. Deep in her personal gorge, Kara realized the only way out was up. As a new mom, she resolved to climb the mountain again—and this time, she would hike without waiting for her plus-sized status to disappear.

In her memoir "Gorge: My 300-Pound Journey Up Kilimanjaro", Kara's difficult trek speaks to all struggling with negative self-image. Honest and unforgettable, Kara’s journey is one of intense passion, endurance, and self-acceptance that we can learn.
