ALS is a disease that needs a cure. Ive been challenged to do the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge by my friend, Terri Franklin. Im so sweet that I might melt, so Im donating $100 to ALS Research. This challenge is making a difference as you can see in the article below. A BIG DIFFERENCE over last year at this time. Im passing this challenge on to some great family and friends. I encourage you, if you do the ice bucket challenge, that you still make a small donation of some sort. Adam Granger, Brad Chutes, Ed Paxton, Steve Dodge, Jim Dodge Ice Bucket Challenge Donations Reach $22.9 Million to The ALS Association Washington, D.C. (August 19, 2014) — As of Tuesday, August 19, The ALS Association has received $22.9 million in donations compared to $1.9 million during the same time period last year (July 29 to August 19). These donations have come from existing donors and 453,210 new donors to The Association. “Our top priority right now is acknowledging all the gifts made by donors to The ALS Association,” said Barbara Newhouse, President and CEO of The ALS Association. “We want to be the best stewards of this incredible influx of support. To do that, we need to be strategic in our decision making as to how the funds will be spent so that when people look back on this event in ten and twenty years, the Ice Bucket Challenge will be seen as a real game-changer for ALS,” she continued.
