Rotary Speaker - Simon Mtuy ~ Apr 14th, 2022-

This is a fascinating presentation to Farmington Rotary! Simon Mtuy lives on the slopes of Kilimanjaro and was recently visiting UMF. Simon is a climate change and HIV prevention activist who has raised money and awareness by running up Kilimanjaro and other high peaks. As an Extreme Runner - one of the best in the world - he has ascended Kilimanjaro in 9 hours with no oxygen - which would take the average person several days to complete. Simon is the founding member and president of the Rotary Club of Murango.

He also is a professional guide for the last 27 years, leading trips up his beloved Kilimanjaro; a beekeeper, and community leader.

Not only was he visiting UMF on his trip to the U.S., but he was also fitting in a 100K extreme race!
