I was nominated by Isaac Aderinto to do that ALS ice water challenge, but considering the fact that pouring ice water over me isnt going to cure ALS, nor do I have money to donate to the cause, I figured Id just make a status spreading awareness. 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. If you would like to learn more you can go to alsa.org/about-als/what-is-als.html And if you have money to donate to the research of the cure, you can go to the above websites tab Donate.
