No stranger to heroic acts, Keenan was responsible for saving a woman’s life in 2001, when an SUV backed into the San Francisco Bay on Christmas Day. Michael selflessly dove right in to rescue the people trapped in the sinking vehicle. He was able to retrieve passenger Heather Laarif, who was teaching her husband how to drive.
Steven Sherman reports many wineries are happily participating in the benefit and while surrounding local businesses are donating their services for Michael’s benefit as well.
