When Jimmie was diagnosed with MS, it was a blow to the tight-knit racing community. Later, when he established The Heuga Center (now known as Can Do MS), the skiing world stepped up to the financial challenge.In May, 1985, friends and associates organized the first Snow Express for MS, a massive fundraiser in Alyeska, Alaska. Ten participants broke records when they skied one million vertical feet in 24 hours. The ski marathon raised $250,000 in seed money for the fledgling organization.
