"Michy Lemay, the alpine junior program director at Mt. Mansfield Academy in Stowe, is on a mission to make one million human-powered vertical feet in one calendar year on Mt. Mansfield on a mountain bike, by skiing uphill and hiking.
On Oct. 4, Lemay, joined by several dozen others, dedicated her steps up the mountain that day to highlight her personal story of battling breast cancer and to spread awareness about breast cancer prevention and screening.
Lemay, who has a self-imposed deadline of Dec. 31 to complete her million steps, is currently about 40,000 feet ahead of schedule."
