Watch us take the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge. Yesterday a group of Saint Peters University Hospital ICU nurses and staff joined what is estimated to be the more than 15 million people who have completed the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge on video. More than 1.2 million videos have been posted on #Facebook to raise money and awareness for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis disease, also known as Lou Gehrigs disease. It is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and the spinal cord, causing muscles of the body to atrophy. More than $41.8 million has been donated to the ALS Foundation according to the organizations latest estimates. #ALSAwarenss.#ALSIceBucketChallenge #SaintPetersUH stpete.rs/YDIWDz
