Living proof that a stammer need not hold you back'. Lets Geddes. Kala Ramachandran struggled with a stammer and it became so debilitating she thought it would be with her her whole life. But then she embraced mountaineering. And finally found her voice. This is her story. 'It is a given we will have obstacles in life, some of us from the very beginning. Kala's story is one of perseverance; of overcoming; of hope. The world she grew up in didn't include Asian women who climbed mountains. Now it does thanks to Kala never letting go of her dream.'
