Friends & Friends & Friends: Support ALS Research!

I am having a blast watching people band together all over social media to share this challenge with her families and friends. I've seen several people who, like me, didn't really understand the full scope of how ALS affects those who have it, their families, caretakers and friends.

It's.. horrible.
I've seen a handful of videos over the past couple of weeks, made by individuals directly affected in some way by this STUPID disease. The 26-year-old guy I showed ya'll yesterday even stated that for him, ALS is something that people either equate with the title of Lou Gehrig's Disease & know very little past that, or they are aware of what it really is, and the conversation after that is slim to none.

What an awful way to have to live.
So yeah, I'm loving the video streams of people having a little harmless fun with the ALS challenge. Call it narcissism, call it vanity, call it dumb.. call it whatever you want: money is being donated and awareness is being raised. Let's not forget why we're making these videos, but let's keep challenging the world to shed light on this. Let's save some lives, yeah??!

Here's a mini compilation of my lovely friends, directly challenging me & challenged by me to participate.
