While most people use their summers for barbecues and beach days, the Teeter family will be pedalling their bicycles across Canada for ALS.

The Teeter brothers - Michael, Aaron and Adam - lost their father Steve to ALS in 1994.

The Brothers Bike for ALS is their dream to raise funds and awareness about the disease that took their father.

"As a family who has lost a loved one to ALS, our hope is to encourage others by sharing our story," says Adam.

The brothers, along with their wives Juliet, Amy and Heather, will be on the road from May 28 to August 2, 2008. Adam and Aaron, who live in London and Hamilton, Ontario, respectively, will join Michael in Langley, British Columbia to kick off their tour. Their goal is to raise $52,000 as they bike through many communities from coast to coast.

"We want this fundraiser to celebrate our father's life and give hope to those living with this terrible disease," says Michael.

"Our father's life serves as a reminder that we can't control the end of our days. What we can control is the quality of the life we live in the circumstances that we find ourselves. We decided to take control of our grief by organizing this fundraiser," says Aaron.
