ALS Ice Bucket Challenge

So, ALS is a subject close to my heart, as I too suffer from a similar (though thankfully not with such a frighteningly fast and grim prognosis) disease that affects motor neurons (called Spinal Muscular Atrophy if you're curious). ALS is honestly one of the most terrifying things that could ever happen to a person. I myself am confined to a wheelchair and require tremendous help every day just doing ordinary things, but I've had to live with that my entire life. I'm completely used to it. ALS, on the other hand, comes from out of nowhere and progresses so quickly that I can't imagine having to deal with it all of a sudden and all at once... It's a horrible, horrible thing that completely wrecks lives.

So, I've been waiting to participate in the ALS ice bucket challenge myself. I might be a little late, but hey, I haven't been challenged by a legitimate challenger until today when you can say I was 'sorta' challenged by Nigahiga as I watched this video here:



With the whole "I challenge everybody who's watching" trick. Eh, why not?! I really want to participate too!! Here's my shot!

The basic rules are that you either
1) Dump a bucket of ice on yourself and donate $10 to the ALS Association www.alsa.org/ I'm pretty sure you also have to record yourself doing it.
2) Skip the freezing water and just donate $100 www.alsa.org/

I chose the second option and just processed my donation!

Let me use the same trick! I challenge everyone who reads this! You have 24 hours to comply or scary chain letter-like things will start happening to you!
