from the Anaheim Ducks,
At the beginning of September, Ducks Senior Manager of Corporate Partnerships Bonner Paddock will attempt a monumental feat: climbing to the 20,000-foot summit of Mt. Kilimanjaro in Tanzania, the largest free-standing mountain in the world.
The challenge is demanding for any human, notably for Paddock, who has battled with cerebral palsy his entire life. During birth, his umbilical cord was wrapped around his neck, and as a result he suffered damage to the portion of his brain that controls his equilibrium.

Nope, you should probably feel bad. Nice try, though. 
Good luck to him. That is quite a challenge to take on for anyone.

Hmm, this kind of makes me feel bad for trying to promote the nickname “Cerebral Pahlsson”, but maybe I’m not insensitive. Perhaps I’m spreading awareness.
