On Saturday, about 30 friends gathered at the home of Katie and James Dunning to participate in an “ALS Hot Pepper Challenge” to support their good friend, Steve Haberstroh. The town resident’s mom, Patty, recently was diagnosed with ALS and the Haberstrohs started the Hot Pepper Challenge to raise awareness of the disease. See video above by videographer Nils Andersson. It features Steve Haberstroh as well as New Canaan First Selectman Kevin Moynihan. See this website for more information on the challenge and how to donate.
