Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis: Ice Bucket Challenge

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease.

This is a disease of the nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord, that control voluntary muscle movement. It's often refereed to as a glass coffin and the individual has full control of his mind but is unable to move.

I've now been challenged Claire Helmke, Gil Lingenfelter and Terry Eiler. I accept this challenge if only to get my radio listeners to know what ALS stands for and how horrific the disease is.

I charge anyone watching (or listening) to learn more about Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, and if you have funds feel free to donate.
