ALS Ice Bucket Challenge 2.0

This August... And Every August, Until There is a Cure

 #‎ALSIceBucketChallenge‬

Nearly one year ago the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge took the world by storm. Thanks to the viral phenomenon, millions of people were introduced to ALS and took a stand against this disease. Your outpouring of support has made a profound impact on the quest for a cure and has helped to improve the quality of life for those with ALS and their families.

So much good work happened this year, as a result of your efforts, but it is just the beginning! The ALS Ice Bucket Challenge is coming back this August, and every August until there's a cure!

You can be the voice for those who have lost the ability to speak. You can fill that bucket ICE or with a drought conscious alternative (be creative), and lift it over your head for the thousands who cannot move their arms. You can spread the word on social media and show your friends and family that you won’t stop until ALS is stopped.

YOU have the ultimate power to make a difference in the fight against ALS.

Thank you for taking the lead. Donations at:  http://www.childsfamily.us
