We are so proud of long time supporter of Embrace The First Step, Blair Bauman, for summiting Mount Rainier for a second time. His perseverance in support of the charities is greatly appreciated. In the best of conditions, the climb is extremely rigorous; this year, the weather conditions made it that much more difficult. Congratulations, Blair, for Taking It To The Top! Unfortunately, the founder, Mike Roderick, contracted a stomach virus and was unable to summit. The whole reason for these efforts was to raise money for the four charities. Every dollar helps.
