ALS Ice Bucket Challenge
We challenge you! For the last couple of months people have been challenging one another to complete the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge. Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) also known as the Lou Gehrig's disease is a disease of the nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord that control voluntary muscle movement, melting your body like a candle. The Ice Bucket challenge has provided awareness, raising over 31.5 million dollars for global research to find a cure for this disease. Therefore, we challenge you, if you have means to donate, complete the challenge AND donate to the ALS foundation.
