On May 29, 1 953, at 1 1 :30 a.m.. Sir Edmund Hillary and Sherpa Tenzing Norgay became the first men 

 to stand on the summit of Mt. Everest. But the top of the mountain was just the beginning of Sir 

 Edmund's journey. More than half a century later, his perpetual pursuit of things once imagined has 

 resulted in the construction of schools, hospitals, medical clinics, bridges and freshwater pipelines 

 for the people of the Himalayas. He may have left his footprint on a mountain, but he put his indelible 

 imprint on the world. Proving once again that some people are simply destined to rise to the top.
