In December 2010, ski adventurer and world traveler Fred Noble was diagnosed with ALS, or Lou Gehrig's Disease. Since his diagnosis, Fred dedicated his time to raising funds and awareness about the disease. Fred faced this final, most challenging obstacle in his life with vigor and fortitude, working to inspire his friends and others to join him in his quest to do as much as he possibly can to help eradicate the disease. On May 1, Fred reached the summit of his Everest and skied down the other side. We'll always be inspired by the life Fred lived and the stories his friends still share. Shred in Peace, Fred.
