In my case, we have a very dear friend who was diagnosed with this horrible, horrible disease in January. Still, we can’t even comprehend what he and his family are going through and will continue to face for the years to come. It seems surreal!
Over the past few weeks, we have seen the ALS ice bucket challenge all over social media along with local and national news, media, celebrites, etc. Completely amazing the awareness this challenge has brought to ALS and to people of all ages. To date, this challenge has helped raise over $15 million dollars.
If you haven’t done so already, accept the challenge or donate. Visit the ALS website to learn more.
Here are some friends, family, CEOs and TV personalities doing the challenge, donating to ALS, and bringing awareness to this disease.
