Because of their contribution of online "real-estate," and extra-ordinary support in raising awareness for ALS - we are able to connect to a far wider audience than we could have otherwise reached. Their support has enabled us to share the stories of ALS Heroes from not only one – but two platforms. Thank you for hoisting us up on your shoulders, GreatOutdoors.comGreatOutdoors.com is a special partner in the campaign to bring visibility to the ALS community; In this age of Internet, web-space is a commodity – and we recognize how fortunate we are to be featured - not only on the GreatOutdoors Blog - but also in an article written before kick-off and highlighted on the HomePage. The story of 2175 for ALS sits alongside a collection of breath-taking, vivid photographs and stories of globe-trekkers; among other stories, you can read of James Martin, photographing the Equatorial glaciers and Blogging from South America; or Dave Hahn, who has climbed Everest for the 10th time in May; or Editor Peter Potterfield, writing of a hike at the base of Eiger in the Alps. The site is, indeed, a 'Window to the World' - and through writing and reporting, video and outdoor photography – gives us the chance to follow along and explore, no matter where we are or how far we are able to travel. GreatOutdoors.com features highlights in Hiking, Running, Cycling, Climbing and SnowSports…  We appreciate the heart behind this publication - and our sponsors' commitment to the cause. Special thanks to Editor, Peter Potterfield and the GreatOutdoors management and writing staff including Blaine Donnelson and - Trail Angel, Jim Burwell of Altrec.com - all of whom were willing back our Team in order to bring greater visibility to ALS and the ALS Heroes.   -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
