She catalogued and installed signage, slashed undergrowth and accompanied custodians for many years on many weekends. She walked, hiked or ran pretty much every step of the East Coast Trail, always on the lookout for anything that needed a trim. Her favorite expression when hiking was, \u201cnever stop \u2018til you get to the top\u201d. Gail would have been so pleased to be directly associated with recognizing the role of volunteers on an annual basis. ALS can strike anyone and her family is honored that Gail\u2019s memory lives on in the Trail community.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column_inner][\/et_pb_row_inner][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Motion Head Award About Us The Motion Head Award recognizes and honours the #1 individual fundraiser and the #1 team fundraiser of the Annual Trail Raiser fundraising event for their contributions to the East Coast Trail.
