EVERYONE is invited to donate wet or dry,... So what happens, my brother Joe Ponte of Cumberland,RI goes and does the ALS ICE Bucket Challenge and nominates me and the rest of my sisters! So I had 24 hours to come up with a plan.... I thought my donating already got me a free Pass , a get out of Jail Free Card--- But what the heck! I nominate my bosses, Nick Sylvester,& Chris Sylvester to do the challenge and OR to just donate! my co workers at Sylvester Electric , Meketa Nash & Jeannette Joyce Also ALL My Nieces and Nephews!

Yes, I Bingd it....Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and the spinal cord. Many of us know of this disease as ..Lou Gehrigs disease.... Lou brought national and international attention to the disease when he abruptly retired from baseball after being diagnosed back in 1939.
