Over the years many in the Timbers Army have been to a lot of places around the world. A couple that come to mind off the top of my head are Kuwait and Antarctica. We have a new entry for one of the most impressive. Get a load of the cool story below.

Tara and Adam Meyer wanted to declare loyalty to their hometown Portland Timbers – emphatically! So when they got a chance to help their dad climb up Mt. Kilimanjaro, they demanded PTFC attire.

Both sister and brother played soccer at Lincoln High School well enough to help them through college. Adam works for Transportation 4 America in Washington D.C. Tara worked for Conservation International in D.C. until she had a chance to study elephant and human interaction in Tanzania. They both miss Portland. So this was a shout out from homesick Timbers fans.

The climb to Uhuru (Swahili for “freedom”) peak was a fantastic six days up through five climate zones and the steep western breach, a half hour of exhausted exhilaration and two days down on wobbly legs to the village of Moshi and local beer; it was a lot like a Timbers Army road trip!
