MONTANNAH RENNEY is a seven-year-old American girl. She made history this March. She became the girl to climb Mt. Kilimanjaro(乞力马扎罗山).
However, setting a world was not what Kenney wanted. She did it to be closer to her late father. When she knew that Mt. Kilimanjaro was above the clouds, Kenney had an idea: climb Mt. Kilimanjaro to be closer to Dad in heaven? So she asked her mother to climb the mountain together with her.

Kenney's mother is a professional athlete. To help her daughter, she became her trainer. Kenney trained four to eight hours at weekends. She hided shorter distances school days. She also practiced swimming, basketball and to prepare for the hard trip.
“The higher I go, the closer I am to him in heaven.” This idea inspired Kenney to make the climb. After she reached the summit(山顶), Kenney blew kisses to the sky and waved. She hoped her father would see her.
Kenney's story shows us the power of love.
