"I ski for Team ALS as a tribute to John Jaeckel who introduced me to skiing and who continues to amaze me in his fight with ALS. The Jaeckel/Sheehan Walk and the Team ALS-Birkie are both great events to participate in and fundraise for the ALS Association. These events (and others like it) are so important as they raise awareness and money but more importantly they keep ALS in our thoughts year round."
