Climbing Mt Kinabalu for CF

City Of Devonport Lions Club are extremely proud to have as their own Lion, Walter van Praag, in his own right the recipient of an OAM and one of the North West Coast's 120 Inspirational People "The Advocate, Friday 1st October, 2010".

Lion Walter addressed the Lions Meeting, 23rd September, 2010 (picture below featuring:- Walter & furry friend compiling his address).



Lion Walter spoke of his recent adventure climbing Mt Kinabalu in Borneo (some 4095 m) to raise awareness (and funding) for "Cystic Fibrosis". Walter has never let anything stop him attaining his highest achievements, "even with only 50% lung capacity".

At 45 Walter is one of the older people with Cystic Fibrosis and continues to raise awareness for the need of organ donors - as most people with CF will require a lung transplant at one stage. Walter's routine includes daily, or twice daily, aerobic exercise, at least 3 injections, 2 nebuliser treatments and dozens of pills and potions. That not being enough he is always eager to test out any alternative health products and has several favourites such as home made kefir and organic apple cider vinegar.
