Why I Took the ALS Challenge….and Posted It I was challenged to take the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge by my dear friend, Sharon Behm. After seeing dozens of videos over the past month, I felt posting yet another video was jumping on a trend that – according to some – was already past its prime impact. ALS is a horrific disease that took the life of my beloved math teacher, Burr Brooks, as well as the famed baseball player, Lou Gehrig. Just as Angela Jolie brought media attention to the BRCA1 gene and breast cancer, the current ice bucket challenge has raised awareness of ALS and raised almost $110 mln for research to put an end to this dreadful killer. Donations are accepted online at: als.org or may be mailed to: The ALS Association, Gift Processing Center; P. O. Box 6051; Albert Lea, MN 56007. I now pass this challenge along to: Jonathan Larkin, Ruth Ann Mittlestat Matusik and Michael Sullivan. Please note: no animals were harmed in filming this video. Tess loves water and often runs through a sprinkler or jumps off a dock or boat into the lake! Today I pass the challenge along
