In September 2025, Jeff Harmon and a team of 33 extraordinary men and women did the impossible: they summited Mount Kilimanjaro together.

Jeff’s journey to the Roof of Africa was unlike any other. Since 2017, he has lived with Adrenomyeloneuropathy (AMN), a rare degenerative disease that has confined him to a wheelchair. For Jeff, the climb was never just about reaching 19,341 feet—it was about proving that our greatest limits are often the ones we place on ourselves. His ascent became a living declaration that facing our deepest fears, embracing the risk of failure, and stepping into the unknown is where transformation begins.

The team’s victory on the mountain is the heartbeat of My Impossible, Inc., the nonprofit born from Jeff’s determination to live a life without boundaries. My Impossible exists to spark a movement of people around the world who take on what they once thought impossible—transforming not only their own lives but the communities that support them.

Jeff’s community includes his wife Sandy, his daughters Maddie and Gloria, and countless friends and supporters who cheered him on through every grueling step. On the mountain, it included the 33 teammates who said “yes” to carrying, pushing, pulling, and walking side-by-side until the summit was reached.

But the climb was just the beginning. The story of Kilimanjaro now fuels a greater mission: to inspire, to resource, and to equip others to discover and pursue their own “impossible.”

Together, we’ve proven that My Impossible is Our Possible.

Our current fundraising is focused on two goals:

🎥 1. Capture the Story — Fund the Documentary

We’re producing a feature-length documentary to tell the deeper story behind the climb. Not just the summit photo, but the breakdowns, breakthroughs, and what happens when people stop going it alone and start going together.

This film will inspire others to take on their own “impossible,” and we want to do it right — with excellence, honesty, and heart.

We’re currently raising $65,000 to fund:

A professional film crew on the mountain
Drone footage and filming permits in Tanzania
Post-climb interviews and capturing the story back in the US

🎥 A preview of the documentary is at the top of the page (You'll see why this story needs to be told.)

🌱 2. Fuel the Movement — Support the Mission

My Impossible isn’t just about one climb. It’s about helping people everywhere name and pursue their own “impossible” — whether that’s climbing a mountain, changing careers, walking again, or healing a relationship.

Your donation also supports:

The development of the My Impossible app: a place for people to name their “impossible,” gather a team, and take the first step
Future storytelling and impact campaigns
Resources to help others facing disability or life-altering diagnoses to take on their impossible.
Events and programs to build a community of possibility

💬 Why This Matters

“It would be a waste to undertake a climb of this magnitude quietly.”

That’s why we’re filming it.

We want the world to see what’s possible — not just because we made it to the summit, but because of what it took to even try. The story isn’t about me. It’s about us — and what becomes possible when the right people show up beside you.

Thank you for helping bring this story — and this movement — to life.

Partnership Opportunities:

We invite companies and organizations that share our values to partner with us in sponsoring the documentary.
