Tyra, I accepted the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge. I nominate Dirk Parker to this challenge. What is ALS? Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, often referred to as “Lou Gehrigs Disease” ALS 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. Progressive degeneration of the motor neurons in ALS eventually leads to 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. alsa.org
