ALS Challenge

Hi Lovley's <3
     So I was tagged by a friend of mine to do the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge, and I tagged others as well.  Now I'm also tagging all you out there who haven't done it yet! It was refreshing and it's for a great cause, so fill up a bucket, or a pot or anything that can hold a good amount of water.  Fill it with some ice and pour away!  Here's the link below to my video.  I couldn't actually post it here because the video file was too big, so just click the link below and check out footage of me pouring a full pot of ice water on myself! I couldn't find a bucket unfortunately though, so I hope this still counts.

      The more research I did into this, I realised just how scary ALS (Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis)  is.  The Internet has been buzzing for days with ice bucket challenges and fails, which are pretty funny on their own, but this is serious as a whole.  This whole week has really shed light on the issue of ALS and how the government is currently not funding serious research for a cure or proper treatment.  Those who suffer with ALS eventually loose all use of their arms and legs, and even the ability to breath on their own.  Imagine having this run through your family, knowing that someday it will happen to you, out of your control, that that will be how the road ends.  Terrifying, right?

Please donate if you can.  This disease must be stopped, somehow, someday.  Here are a couple websites where you can read more about the causes, and symptoms of ALS as well as other important information about the condition.
