Day 231: Completed the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge and Made a Donation to the ALS Association

One Smile Every Day | I'm on a mission to make someone smile every day this year by completing acts of kindness | Day 231: Completed the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge and Made a Donation to the ALS Association

The ALS Ice Bucket Challenge has made quite an impact over the past couple of weeks and has helped raise over 22.9 million dollars compared to 1.9 million raised during the same time period last year!! ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis), also known as "Lou Gehrig's Disease" is a progressive degeneration of motor neurons. Did you know that Veterans, are approximately twice as likely to develop ALS? This is a devastating disease that has no cure and is not fully understood, so awareness and donations are vital for researching treatments for this condition. I was challenged by a good friend of mine to do the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge. It's simple...pour ice water over your head, make a donation to the ALS charity of your choice, and nominate someone else to do the challenge! So with that said, I am nominating each of YOU for the Ice Bucket Challenge!! Make an impact today and learn more at www.alsa.org/fight-als/ice-bucket-challenge :)
