– It was announced on Wednesday that WWE will be sponsoring JBL’s mission to climb the highest point on each of the seven continents. Proceeds from the adventure will go towards Bermuda’s Family Center, which helps underprivileged children.
JBL will begin with Russia’s Mt. Elbrus, the highest mountain in Europe. He will then go to Mts. Vinson, Aconcagua, Denali, Kilimanjaro, Cartensz Pyramid and finish with Mt. Everest in 2014.
In an interesting note, JBL plans to place a WWE flag at the top of each of the seven mountains.
