We have been nominated and have accepted an ALS Ice Bucket Challenge from our good friends Frances Johnson Lauer and John Lauer. Just a bit of info for those that maybe (just maybe still wondering inspite of the viral videos out there) - what is ALS? Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (commonly known as Lou Gehrigs Disease) is a very fatal progressive disease that affects the function of nerve cells in the brain, the spinal cord, and muscle. To date theres only one FDA approved treatment but not a cure. It only helps prolong the life of people with ALS by 2 to 3 months which is the main reason why I did this video Ice Bucket Challenge - to join the phenomenon thats spreading ALS awareness, incite others( especially those that are in pharmaceutical companies and academia) to engage in the fight against ALS and expedite new treatments On that note, I challenge my dear and good friends T David Carangan, Renz Yankee, Antonette Lorenzana Yrastorza, George Cox, Angela Purl Jaggli, Ruta Yandall, Gena Chacon, Tracy L Kelley-spears Jerry Santiago, Josie Calayag, Angelyn Obrero, Marivic Albania Bart, ShirleyMarie Pua, Jo Nicole, Marian Nava-Manalo, Jerome Legaspi and Sig Amorsolo Sian. You have 24 hours to do the challenge and make a donation at alsa.org.
