ASL Ice-bucket challenge

Hallo friends,

My second post of the day is to encourage such a kind and selfless [and enjoyable] action as the ALS Ice-bucket challenge. 

What you have to do is this:


The Ice Bucket Challenge, sometimes called the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge, is an activity involving dumping a bucket of ice water on one's head or donating to the ALS Association in the United States. It went viral throughout social media during the Northern-Hemisphere summer of 2014.

The challenge dares nominated participants to have a bucket of ice water poured on their head. One common stipulation gives 24 hours from the time they are nominated to complete the dare; otherwise, the participant is asked to donate money to charity.

My favourite celebrity attempts include:

Hugh Jackman (now bald for Peter Pan) takes it on
Charlie Sheen rather bravely gives it a go...

Can you...?

What is ALS:

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), often referred to as "Lou Gehrig's Disease," is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and the spinal cord.

How will your gift help: 

Your gift will help The ALS Association support research to find a cure for ALS and provide much-needed services to patients and their families. By becoming a part of The ALS Association family and making your gift today, you will help sustain hope in thousands of people affected by ALS.

Yours,
Truly xxx
