“Byron Saunders Foundation is so thankful for Mike Roderick and Embrace The First Step. They have supported Byron Saunders Foundation through monetary donations, awareness, volunteering, etc.  Without organizations like ETFS, Byron Saunders Foundation would not be able to support as many families as we do. We are so grateful for all the wonderful work ETFS does.”

Brian Wollenberg
President, Byron Saunders Foundation

“Mike is a driving force. His passion, desire, talent, and organizational skills are priceless. If you are looking to raise funds for an existing charity, organization or host an event for someone in need, he is the guy! Truly, a world-class human!”

Rob Fletcher

“Embrace the First Step is a great partner. We share a commitment to encouraging people to take action. Climbing Mount Rainier with Mike and the other team members was an incredible experience. Rainier challenges you physically and mentally, but climbing with a group of like minded and committed individuals was inspiring. The camaraderie and desire to support See Kids Dream the other chosen charities helped push us forward and enjoy each step up the mountain.’

Co-Founder, See Kids Dream

If you are not willing to risk the usual, you will have to settle for the ordinary.
