NORFOLK, Va. - The Up Center is "stepping it up" for the Community. The organization kicks off it's second Annual Stair Climb on April 3. Nearly one hundred people trained for the climb Sunday.

The event challenges participants to walk or run up Dominion Tower's 25 flights of stairs. That's 580 steps!

The money raised goes to programs that help 10-thousand people in Hampton Roads each year.

"In today's economic times, as you can imagine, there are more people who need our services and fundraising. It's important to provide as many services as possible to folks throughout Hampton Roads," explained Andria McClellan, with the Up Center.

Even our own Don Roberts will be climbing his way to the top on April 3.
