Raise awareness & funds – for a worthy cause – DONT FEED YOUR EGO! You really want to do the “ice bucket” challenge? Fine... At least do it properly! Learn what its about first! And be aware of any associated health risks! Not sure about it, dont do it... You can just DONATE or BETTER YET OFFER YOUR TIME to assist those who are suffering & really help make a difference ;) Still eager to go ahead with it, your choice... Go out & purchase a bag of ice from the nearest service station, grab a bucket, break the ice & put it in the bucket, then pour it over your head... If you want it to be watery, let the ice melt a bit... No need for fresh water being wasted, especially in ridiculously excessive amounts! Not necessary to upload a video either, glorifying ones efforts... If you really must, get someone to take a photo of you the moment youre doing the challenge... And while youre at it, how about taking another photo of that cheque you wrote to the ALS/MND/Charcot Disorder/Lou Gehrigs Disease foundation(s) or a screen-shot &/or transaction receipt from your online donation(s)? Post them along with links to the corresponding websites, so that others can find all the important info & donate as well... Truly help raise awareness & funds & lead by example! Because, ultimately the ones doing most of – if not all – the donating here are the ones not partaking in the challenge... And sadly enough, majority of those doing the challenge are simply entertaining themselves... Just another way for some to boost their online celebrity status & feel better about themselves, while pretending to do something good for humanity... AND WHAT IF MONEY RAISED FROM DONATIONS ISN’T EXACTLY GOING WHERE IT SHOULD BE? HAVE YOU DONE YOUR RESEARCH? As for the argument that most people were not aware of this disease prior to the ice bucket campaign thats simply because were all so brainwashed by mainstream media & reality tv - one sided stories & fabricated realities, consumerism, online social fads, bandwagons & trends - that weve become almost completely ignorant to what is really going on around the world! WHY NOT ALSO SUPPORT OTHER “WORTHY” NON-PROFIT CHARITY ORGANISATIONS? WHY NOT CHOOSE TO PROMOTE OTHER IMPORTANT CAUSES? Things that matter most & real issues needing widespread support remain hidden or lost. We miss out on all the important things in life... Yet, were constantly spoon-fed ways of making some individuals important... Weve become all about believing and following & less about exploring and leading... All about me & less about us... All about personal gain & less about honest, truthful giving... How about making a real difference? No need for an #IceBucket over your head... Make an impact & contribute where it really counts... 1 luv.
