In addition to this, Di has accomplished a world first in putting a team of 15 Aussie mums on the highest freestanding mountain on the planet, Mt Kilimanjaro in 2005, IN A BLIZZARD. This is a 100% success rate, and has not been done before or since. These women were not previously athletes, and had 55 children between them. Two of them were also grandmas. These are clearly ordinary women, achieving extra ordinary things.
