In case youre wondering, and to paraphrase the inimitable Robin Williams: Its cold! Damn cold! So cold that...you get the idea! Big BIG thanks to Sean Wallbridge who challenged me about 12 hours ago to the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge. Cool your jets Princess, I got it done with 12 hours to spare! As I say in the video, its awesome what this crowd sourced campaign has done for ALS. Charities never dream of and cant buy this kind of awareness and the resulting increase in donations. While I am helping to raise awareness for ALS, Ive chosen to donate to a cause a little closer to home, Rowans Journey to beat Wiskott-Aldrich Syndrome. I also foolishly accepted the call to further the viral videos. Thank ya Sean, thank ya very much... Ok, before you watch, lets pause for station identification… 1. Profound apologies to Keiran. He really wanted to help me with this, but time and scheduling didnt allow for it. Ill happily help the lil goalie if hed like to participate. :) 2. Im proud have donated to have donated to support a cause today. However, it shouldnt take a social media phenomenon to have us thinking philanthropically. I know, it helps (TONS onforb.es/1BEvJtt), but hopefully you choose to make a difference year round. 3. Ive donated to help with Rowan with medical expenses, bit.ly/1BEwC5i, and you can follow his journey here: facebook/TeamRowanWAS. You can also choose to continue to support ALS, accept the ice bucket fate, or simply Pay It Forward like my friend Katrina is doing: bit.ly/1tsjhqQ Now on to the next victims, errrrrr…happy participants. Im sharing the love with these fine people: ○ Trevor Thors - Im amazed youve dodged this so far. :p Besides, itll help with concert stress… ○ Craig Allan - because you wont forget to get your girls to help you… ○ Chris Densmore - because Im sure the gang at Volleyball BC will help his video go viral! ○ Chrissy Benz - because this will give Volleyball Canada, Andrea Bailie and the OVA Beach Tour crew at Beach Nationals a big smile to start the event with! ○ Murray Seward - because his team at Canadian Outback Adventures will love to see him do it and theyll help, because thats what Team Building is about! ○ And Rob Morrison - because as my mother in law says... it might be 2 in the morning, but Ill get ya! Even if it took about 25 years... As an aside, consider yourself lucky Wendy Peterson Wallbridge and Dan Parks! I totally meant to share the love with you, but had so many COLLLD thoughts running around in my head you somehow dodged the bucket, this time! Im sure someone will help me out...? Sherry? Brittany? You have 24 hours kids, fill your buckets! #icebucketchallenge, #alsicebucketchallenge, #strikeoutals
