After a god damn adventure over the Misty Mountains and back, I finally managed to get this video up. Thanks to Stephanie Hayes for voting that I get soaked in icy water. Merrilee Brown, Alex Chen, Thomas Steven Rollins, and Rachel Rollins, youre up next. (: Anyways, I highly recommend that if you hear about these ice bucket challenges, take a look into what ALS is. Spread the word! Consider donating to an ALS charity. Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) (aka Lou Gehrigs Disease) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and the spinal cord. Motor neurons reach from the brain to the spinal cord and from the spinal cord to the muscles throughout the body. The progressive degeneration of the motor neurons in ALS eventually leads to their death. When the motor neurons die, the ability of the brain to initiate and control muscle movement is lost. With voluntary muscle action progressively affected, patients in the later stages of the disease may become totally paralyzed. Hopefully our help will aid researchers in finding a solution to this awful disease.
