Dallas, TX (PRTraffic) April 26, 2007 -- It started with a few small steps ... 1,576 to be exact. That was the number of steps needed to perform a morning ascent up the Empire State Building, led by two-time cancer survivor Mike Peters. The Empire State Building event was a successful prelude to the ultimate high: "Everest Rocks" -- The Love Hope Strength Foundation's October Fundraising Trek & Rock Music Concert At The Base Camp Of Mt. Everest.

As cofounder Mike Peters shared, "Since the launch of the LoveHopeStrength.com cancer foundation at 'The Gathering' (a series of concerts by the world famous welsh band 'The Alarm in January 2007), we have received hundreds of emails from cancer patients and cancer survivors saying this exactly what cancer patients and their families needed: a cancer foundation that advances the cause through rock music."
Leukemia survivors Mike Peters (of Welsh Rock band The Alarm) and entertainment insurance executive James Chippendale recently founded the Love Hope Strength Cancer Foundation to reveal the ongoing success of cancer survivors, build a support network for cancer patients worldwide, fight for greater research funding and develop innovative music related outreach and awareness programs.

The Everest event is both a fundraiser and awareness platform for the Love Hope Strength Foundation.
