CELEBRITY Mandy moore

Mandy Moore has held a special place in the heart of the entertainment industry from her breakout role in 'A Walk to Remember' to her recent powerful portrayal in the TV drama 'This is Us.' The actor took to Instagram to share a new foot tattoo and tell the story behind the ink.

Moore wrote that the small, line tattoo was of Mount Kilimanjaro. "The mountain. Forever commemorated. Thank you @winter_stone for the reminder of what we accomplished. #kilimanjaro."

Over the past few weeks, Moore has posted many images from her backpacking excursion, detailing the triumphs, adversity, and natural beauty she experienced along the way.

She wrote, "On the night of our ascent to the summit, we woke up at 11pm (after a few hours of napping) to enjoy a couple of nervous minutes together with a cup of coffee before it was time to gear up in my our warmest layers and start the nearly 8 hour trek to highest point in Africa- 19,341 ft. In total darkness, we took it pole pole (slow slow) and trudged through rain, sleet and snow, where seemingly everything on our person managed to freeze (water bottles, backpacks, our eyelashes, hair, fingers, toes, etc...) Oddly, I’ve never felt more determined to tackle such a physical challenge before and yet the combined elements of exhaustion and extremely cold weather made it much trickier than any of us were prepared for. All of that aside, ultimately reaching the threshold of the true summit was more emotional and overwhelming than I had thought possible. Kilimanjaro demands a lot from those who traverse her trails. You have no choice but to show up. And we did. There’s nothing more empowering than realizing that we are all capable of so much more than we give ourselves credit for."

Moore's inspiring backpacking experience will forever be remembered in the delicate line tattoo located on the side of her foot. You can follow her Mount Kilimanjaro adventures through her Instagram page here.
