Wondering why are there videos of ppl who splash themselves with ice water??? What is ALS? What is MND? Well here is a brief description.... Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), often referred to as Lou Gehrigs Disease, is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and the spinal cord. Motor neurons reach from the brain to the spinal cord and from the spinal cord to the muscles throughout the body. The progressive degeneration of the motor neurons in ALS eventually leads to their death. When the motor neurons die, the ability of the brain to initiate and control muscle movement is lost. With voluntary muscle action progressively affected, patients in the later stages of the disease may become totally paralyzed. If not for this awareness, i would not hav known anything abt ALS. And with tt i am thankful to God who have given me an able body n a healthy body walhamdulillah.
