The ice bucket challenge is a campaign to raise awareness of ALS through online social media platform
What is ALS?
ALS stands for Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. ALS causes the upper and lower motor neutrons to degenerate and therefore resulting in the body to lose muscle strength and atrophy. Soon, people with ALS will not be able to initiate and control all voluntary movements or even speak or swallow and it could only get worse.. There is no cure thus far..
Do watch this video.
What am i supposed to do if i want to help?
Take part in the Ice Bucket Challenge and donate to help in the research for a cure! Nominate others to do it too! Let us spread the awareness of ALS together!
Within 24 hours of being challenged, you are supposed to record a video of yourself in continuous footage of announcing your acceptance of the challenge followed by pouring a bucket of ice over yourself and then nominate others!
By right, the nominated person is expected to donate $10 if they have poured the ice water over their head or donate $100 if they have not.
