This 8-Year-Old Girl Has Had Open Heart Surgery and Just Climbed Mount Kilimanjaro

There is this 8 year old girl from Florida named Roxy Getter who hasn’t had it the easiest from a health standpoint. She had to have open heart surgery when she was just a baby.

Last month her family planned a trip to Africa and they were going to do a safari at first but then they were like "let's do something a little more challenging, lets climb mount Kilimanjaro!" Yeah, the highest peak in Africa! Her parents checked with the doctors to make sure they were in the clear and the doctors gave them the okay.

They made it to the top in four days and Roxy became the youngest female to ever make it to the top! Isn’t that unbelievable?! She was like "take that, heart condition!" Read the full story here.
