To all in Facebook land: Before you accept or nominate anyone - TopicsExpress



          

To all in Facebook land: Before you accept or nominate anyone for the Ice Bucket Challenge, take a couple of minutes to watch this video to see where it all started. ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis), or Motor Neurone Disease (MND) as it is known in the UK, and Lou Gehrigs disease in the USA is a neurodegenerative disease. It is characterised by muscle spasticity, rapidly progressive weakness due to muscle wasting, and difficulty in speaking, swallowing, and breathing. Its not a cancer, its not contagious. Pete Frates challenged his friends in an attempt to raise awareness of ALS, but after watching hundreds of Ice Bucket Challenge videos on social media, how aware of ALS are you? If you are going to do something, know the reason why you are doing it and have conviction in you actions, for Petes sake!
