Jessica Biel: Ready to Climb Mountains Thu, 24-Sep-2009
Known for her athletic prowess, Jessica Biel is about to be on top of the word - or at least a mountain!
The “Powder Blue” babe is set to climb Africa’s highest peak, Mount Kilimanjaro, in January to raise awareness for the need for clean water worldwide.
Also joining the climb is Lupe Fiasco and actress Isabel Lucas, who all are going along with the “Summit on the Summit” expedition, which is for Biel’s friend, singer Kenna, whose father suffered from waterborne diseases in Ethiopia as a child.
"This is a basic human necessity that needs to be addressed now," Biel said in a statement about her decision to climb the more than 19,000 feet to the mountain's peak.More celebrity climbers are still to be announced in the next few months.
The climb will also raise funds for the Children's Safe Drinking Water Program, United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees and PlayPumps International. |
