I was challenged by Tosha Dillard to complete the Ice Bucket Challenge to bring awareness for ALS. -> Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), often referred to as 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. -->Ice Bucket Challenge Donations: As of Monday, August 25, The ALS Association has received $79.7 million in donations compared to $2.5 million during the same time period last year. --->Visit als.org to make a donation! Im challenging Paige Boyd, Amber Singleton, and Michael Pedrotti. Enjoy :)
