ALS Ice Bucket Challenge

[The Big Train]

So there have been a few mentions about the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge that I could find on here.  While I was in Texas this weekend I did it and donated.  This thing has really raised a lot of money and awareness.  How many of you guys have done it?  Know anyone that has been affected by it?  If you have been challenged but didn't do it, why?  How much money and how long do you think it can go?

Done it twice, won't go back on Facebook again until this thing dies down because 80% of people don't donate which makes this just a dump a cold bucket of water on your head

I was told I was "called out"...thanks for the reminder to go kick some money over to ALS.

Did you know that ALS affects only 30,000 Americans?

what if they find out ice causes it 

[CNS]

The Alzheimer's and cancer guys have to be pretty.upset they didnt start it.

I was hoping this would be a serious thread and I about made it not serious for a group that CNS pointed out

Donated in memory of my dad.  Pretty terrible disease and it is nice to see it has raised so much money.

Steven Hawking is someone I have always had an interest in for his knowledge/theories/predictions in the world of theoretical physics and he could have done so much more I think if this disease hadn't made it impossible for him to talk.

Lou Gehrig was a founding member of "murder's row" for the Yankees and his struggle with the illness ended a great career.

You could argue that it was because of this disease that Hawking became who he is. Before it he was more of a class-clown, believe it or not, and didn't quite commit his cognitive faculties as he did after being given 2-3 years to live in the early 1960's...of which much, if not all of his scientific contributions came afterwards.

Did you complete your PhD when you were 23? Did you graduate college at 20? I mean, a great mind is a great mind.

The challenge is for real people that actually care about other people, which you have never had

Terrible disease, but research funding is needed much more than "awareness."  Sweet, now way more people are aware of my imminent death.
