Why participate?
“The Heuga Center’s MS programs gave us a blueprint for our lives. The Vertical Express is a fun, easy way I can support the programs that have supported Barbara and me.”
–Howard and Barbara Brinton
“I had volunteered for the Squaw Valley Vertical Express for years. Little did I know that I would one day be diagnosed with MS and need to go to The Heuga Center’s CAN DO Program to learn how to control my life. Now my boys ski in the event to help raise funds for this great cause.”
–Sid Willeford
