Why do you support ALTSO?

I support ALTSO, and have for 20-plus years, because it enables children with limb challenges to participate fully in society.

What are your top three albums—no skips, all hits? 

Jackson Browne, Late for the Sky; Led Zeppelin, Houses of the Holy; REM, Reckoning (taken from my recent post "The Top Ten Albums That Changed My Life").  

The greatest investment you can make is in a child’s future. Rocktoberfest proceeds help provide free mobility care to CoolKids in emerging countries, providing the foundation needed to break the poverty cycle: independence, education, community, and future gainful employment.
