I have to say this about the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge and this is - TopicsExpress



          

I have to say this about the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge and this is not addressed to anyone particular, its just what I have observed on Facebook and other Social Media sites : 1.)ALS Ice Bucket Challenge is to raise awareness for Lou Gehrigs disease,a neurodegenerative disease with various causes. It is characterised by muscle spasticity, rapidly progressive weakness due to muscle atrophy, and difficulty in speaking (dysarthria), swallowing (dysphagia), and breathing. Most people know that Stephen Hawking shares this disease with many other people. 2.) The reason why it was decided to become a Ice Bucket Challenge is because when you would poor the ICE WATER on you its suppose to give the sudden effect of being in a paralyzed state so that its better understood of what people who have it go through. Ive noticed that not to many people are actually following the rules of the cause. Not saying all, just some. 3.) Its not a race thing. Ive seen people of both race complain that it is a White Disease. I can say that the first time I saw that put out there, I think my brain went dead for a good 5 seconds. I was in complete shock that someone would take something that is raising millions of dollars for so many people and helping so many lives to then put a negative shadow over it was completely disgusting. People of all races can get this. 4.) Im making this post because its what I am observing. Most people will take what Im saying negative but theres that small handful of people that will agree with me. No, I have not been challenged to do it. Will I do it? It is something I have to think about. As much as Id just LOVE to have ice dumped on my head, I still feel like donating more than $10 dollars will give more to the cause then dumping ice. Also, it is fun when it is done correctly. Who knows? I might do it, I might not. Either way, I WILL be donating to ALS, unlike many people who did the Ice Bucket challenge and did NOT donate.
