You’ve been seeing it happen all across social media non stop and going viral.
The controversy continues to grow over the popular #IceBucketChallenge on whether it’s a good thing or just a new trendy way to exhibit yourself on Facebook.
If the Ice-bucket challenge wasn’t going out there right now, would ALS be in
any of your minds at all?
Seriously, when was the last time that anyone even spoke about ALS to you or to the millions of people that are sharing it today, right now on social media?
Not everyone will take your challenge and do it, but many will take it and dump the ice water and pass it on.
It’s mainly designed to do just that, to promote ALS awareness that would otherwise normally go unnoticed to most us and then pass is along to educate others.
In the long run its a win, win situation for ALS patients and families.
If this ice cold, bone chilling, wet challenge wasn’t going on as we speak, who really would even be thinking about ALS during the heart of the summer vacation season other than the ALS family’s and ALS patients?
Your raising your own ALS awareness by reading about it right now in this article because of the ice buckets, so its working.
Hopefully instead of criticizing everyone’s efforts, if you don’t take-on an ice bucket challenge, instead you’ll write a check to ALS and help the cause? It’s as simple as that!
It’s all good and its good people having some fun while raising awareness to help a good cause like ALS!
So when you get a chance, raise that ice water bucket real high and take the plunge!
