I honestly didn't know what it was till I saw people doing the challenge. This disease is a terrible thing. I wanna say as worse if not worse than cancer.

My grandfather lost his battle with ALS 17 years ago. It's a disease that very few people know anything about and this campaign has done so much to create awareness.

Is really only like 8% of everyone's donations only going to research? if that is true that is wrong. that's why everyone is donating. that is why ALSA has seen a 1000% increase in donations because they want to see not necessarily a cure but a change, some type of prevention. I really hope that ALSA is not being greedy like that. I understand they have to pay their employees and everything. BUT every other cent should be used for research. If you could help me by finding out whether this is all true or just a farce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

But go ahead if you want, doing something is better than nothing, but here in minnesota we are looking at a 9 month long ice bucket weather event coming up.
