In a stunning display of dedication to not only his craft, but to charity, a Swedish rollerblader recently raised over $50k for Börje Salming's ALS Foundation in a long-distance fundraiser.

Oliver Eriksson took on the task of doing something remarkable, all in the name of doing good for the world. He embarked on a 2100km (1300 mile) marathon from Kiruna to Ystad (essentially travelling from Northern Sweden to the southern border with Denmark) and raised a considerable amount through his tireless trip.
TSN's Gord Miller posted two articles on the matter, the latter article clearing up some information and making Eriksson's journey even more incredible.
Salming, who unfortunately lost his life to ALS in 2022 played in 1,148 games in his career, scoring 787 points; 768 of those coming with the Leafs over 16 seasons before he finished his career in Detroit.
