When nominated for the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge by Christopher Durovich, CEO of Children's Medical Center Dallas and Lee Ann Liska, CEO of UC Medical Center, Cincinnati Children's CEO Michael Fisher happily accepted. Because not only do motor neuron diseases affect adults, they also affect our tiniest patients, in a disease called spinal muscular atrophy, or SMA. Michael Fisher asked Dr. Steven Crone and his research lab if they would be interested in joining him, because they are currently conducting both ALS and SMA research at Cincinnati Children's. His lab has received funding from the ALS Association, the Gwendolyn Strong Foundation, and Fight SMA. The team readily accompanied him, because spreading awareness for and the importance of medical research is an important message to tell. In addition to taking the Ice Bucket Challenge, donations were made to the ALS Association, the Gwendolyn Strong Foundation, and Fight SMA.
