The "Ice Bucket Challenge" or better known name the "ALS Ice Bucket Challenge" is a charity event for the dreaded disease Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease. Over 5,000 Americans are diagnosed with ALS each year. ALS strikes without warning – anyone, anywhere, anytime. ALS patients die usually within two to four years. This rapidly progressive, fatal neuromuscular disease attacks motor neurons in the spinal cord and brain, robbing its victims of all voluntary muscles. There is no known cure for ALS at this time.

Many celebrities have taken the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge including Justin Timberlake, Conan O'Brien, Jimmy Fallon, Oprah Winfrey, Kerry Washington, Adam Levine, Blake Shelton, Carson Daly, Robert Downey Jr, Matt Lauer, Hoda Kotb, Emmy Rossum, Ansel Elgort, Keith Urban, Elizabeth Banks and over $11 Million has been raised. Those who are challenged either have to donate $100 to The ALS Association, or get showered with a bucket of ice-cold water and in turn issue the challenge to three other people which have 24 hours to complete the challenge. To prove that you have successfully taken the challenge you should post a video of your challenge on social media, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, or Instagram.

I completed the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge for my cousin, Celia Preston who was recently diagnosed with ALS. The challenge was issued by my niece Carrie Malavolta and her daughter Mia. I challenge my cousins Vicki Beien Jones, Kathy Beien Kaup & Jim Beien. You have 24 hours to complete the challenge.
Thanks to Carol Fox for recording the video and Warren Jones who provided the bucket of ice water.
