G Movement Profile: Jack Sisson

Jack Sisson

The athlete most like me is the one who doesn’t quit, despite lots of injuries.

I skate because I love the transformation I experience each time.

My favorite part about training is feeling like I’m going to crumble at the top of a hill.

Action Against Hunger has inspired me to think outside of my immediate surroundings and to urge others to do the same.

My ideal vacation is a man-powered journey.

The most disgusting thing I’ve ever eaten is thirty-three flavor ices in one sitting. Each one was decent, but on the whole…Well, I felt pretty terrible for two days after that.

Go Forth, and Skate the Path of Righteousness. But Avoid the Interstate!

Jack Sisson embarked on a cross-country excursion on June 10th, armed with nothing but the backpack on his back and the rollerblades on his feet. Inline skating from Yorktown, Virginia to San Francisco, California, Sisson is taking this three month sojourn from the day-to-day life of a Dartmouth junior to benefit international aid group Action Against Hunger /Action Contre la Faim (ACF). Sisson, who has been planning the trip for two years, set out to raise money and awareness for ACF’s life-saving humanitarian programs.
