Ernie loved to connect people.  From mission trips to ski trips, to everyday gatherings, Ernie brought people together. That was who he was.  To the end Ernie fought ALS and in doing so was an inspiration to everyone around him.  This summer I am riding 100 miles in a COVID-reduced ALS TDI Trek.  We're riding in memory of Ernie and to help the incredible researchers at ALS TDI, who are dedicated to finding a cure for ALS.  Any donation, large or small, will help ALS TDI researchers to end this terrible disease.  Your support is greatly appreciated.
