ALS Ice Bucket Challenge

[Mrs. Gooch]

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

With awareness comes more donations for research funding.

[The Tonya Harding of Twitter Users Creep]

did it. split my $100 between ALS, alzheimers and cancer research.

Yeah, chicken, eggcetera... I just wish that much of it weren't swallowed up as administrative costs.  I do think the government should be more involved in direct funding for medical research.  Compared to our spending on defense and entitlements, it's a relatively small amount of money and I wouldn't mind paying a couple of bucks a year for it.

I think his eyes make the face, and the "deal with it" might be over played, but I'd like to see this with the shades at the end.

this article pretty much describes how i feel in a much more intelligent way than I could. also the graphic in the middle of the article shows some interesting figures comparing $ donated to diseases that actually kill ppl.... Maybe we are donating money to the wrong diseases? maybe those diseases aren't killing as many ppl because they have had so many donations? who knows

[ShellShock]

Everyone realizes that ALS is such a small fish in a big pond that it's a little insane right? I mean, 30,000 people in the US diagnosed our of 320 million people total in the US is only like 0.009%.

We're frying the wrong fish here guys...

I sure hope I get one of the popular diseases.

I think someone should challenge the researchers to a liquid nitrogen challenge if this awareness doesn't achieve significant results within a decade or so.

Gonna win 'em all!

[TownieCat]

What's up with the people who take the challenge and then pass it on to about a dozen people? You get three. We get it...you have lots of friends. Yeesh...

[puniraptor]

I'm also noticing that people are starting to take the challenge but instead promoting and donating to a different cause of personal significance to them (autism, soldiers, etc).

This might go on forever if people keep ice bucketing for every charitable cause in existence.

I am so glad I am not on Facebook.
