Thank you Thess Melinda for the challenge. For anyone who doesnt know what ALS is, here is some basic facts I found online. Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a rapidly progressive, neuromuscular disease. It attacks the motor neurons that transmit electrical impulses from the brain to the voluntary muscles in the body. When they fail to receive messages, the muscles lose strength, atrophy and die. ALS can strike anyone at anytime, regardless of age, gender, or ethnic origin. It does not affect the senses, and only rarely does it affect the mind. The equipment costs for each patient average $137,000, while nursing and home care costs can be up to 10 times this amount. The average life expectancy after diagnosis is 3 to 5 years. #IceBucketChallenge Please donate and continue to spread the awareness! https://secure.e2rm/registrant/donate.aspx?eventid=56456&langpref=en-CA&Referrer=http%3a%2f%2fals.ca%2fen%2fdonate Good luck to those I challenged xo KiAtra Buchanan Briie Robertson Julien Taylor-Patrick
