My dad lost his life to ALS June 29, 2014. He fought the good fight but couldn't beat this disease. I now know that it takes ALS exactly 18 months to take out Superman. I hope they can find a cure to the worst disease in the world.

Thanks. So if I understand this correctly, Butch chose to have the ice bucket instead of donating money? Is this an event to shame a person for not donating? Maybe he donated AND did the ic bucket for awareness?

Anyhow, looked like they enjoyed it.

No, from what I understand, a person pays 100$ or more, then gets the ice bucket dumped, but then gets to challenge two other people.

It's just to raise awareness, which it clearly has. I'm sure he will also donate money

I think the point is that they could've just donated $9 million without dumping a cooler full of icy water on their heads. :whistling:

How many people donated last year? Check the numbers? It's a dramatic increase. It's clearly working
