ALS is also known as Lou Gehrig's disease.

My family has MS in its veins. My mom suffers from MS, and I know exactly how these people feel. Its not a long road. Its a slippery descent into an inevitable handicapping. This is why people have been spreading the word with this ice bucket challenge.



Sorry if this is in the wrong section. I've just seen a lot of people associating the publicity for the charity with the action itself and not the reason behind it. I haven't seen that here but I figured it couldn't hurt.
