The folks at Centretown United Church took a turn at the Ice Bucket Challenge today.

Pitt Community College (Winterville, N.C.)

My depiction of the Ice Bucket Challenge in SL.

I took the bucket and donated to the ALS Association from there :

Just had to be done :o)

I was challenged to do the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge and so I thought I’d make it my picture of the day. My wife insisted that I also do a video- I think because she wanted to hear me scream in agony, but I didn’t utter a peep! It was cold sure, but really the challenge is about donating and creating awareness for a disease that gets put at the bottom of the list. It was my pleasure to donate!

I accepted Annie Parker's nomination to do the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge.

Pretty sure it's supposed to be more of a summer thing, but compared to having ALS (what we call Motor Neurone Disease in Australia) a little ice in Sydney winter is insignificant.

Check out Motor Neurone Disease Australia for more information or to donate.

I nominated Sarah Vaughan, Phil Oye and Cam Barrie. Enjoy, folks.

Three chiefs, a State rep and the Mayor . . . what an event!

University of Central Arkansas Director of Special University Projects/Community Affairs T.J. Johnson dumps a bucket of water on UCA President Tom Courtway (right) while Athletic Director Brad Teague get dunked by his children while the two take part in the ALS ice bucket challenge on Friday at Estes Stadium. The challenge involves participants having a bucket of ice water poured over their head and then challenging others to make a donation to fight ALS. Courtway did the challenge in honor of John Stanton, a Conway businessman and public figure who died in 2008 from the disease, while Teague participated in memory of James "Skeeter" Banks of Southaven, MS, a baseball teammate of his while in college.

but there again, he should be used to getting wet, being a pirate n all :-)

Wall-E and I would like to raise awareness that the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge, as Robin Williams passing, says an awful lot about our relationship with celebrity.

The more media attention this is getting, the more it has become about 'look at this celebrity in a wet t shirt/swimwear/dumping water on themselves' and which celebrity friends they nominate.

I can't recall any video or news articles featuring a celeb video that mentions how or where to donate.

It's supposed to be about raising awareness, not raising celebrities profiles.

While it is truly wonderful that it has generated such media interest, Wall-E and I would like to use his nomination (Yes, Wall-E really was nominated) to explain a little more about this crippling and as yet, incurable disease and which charities to donate to for research into a cure.

Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is the US term to describe what we in the UK we call Motor Neurone Disease (MND)

A motor neuron is a nerve cell that makes voluntary muscle movements.

ALS/MND is a disease in which these cells stop working properly.

ALS/MND affects a person’s ability to move voluntarily.

ALS/MND stops people eating, walking and talking, for example, but doesn’t stop them from thinking or feeling, effectively leaving sufferers ‘locked in’ to their bodies.

You can donate to any charity of your choice, UK information here:

Text ICED55 followed by an amount (such as £5) to 70070

Call 01604 611860 referencing the 'Ice Bucket Challenge'

Thank you Metro for the only informative article we could find this morning.

Wall-E nominates:

Anyone who can share this information.

Anyone who is able to donate, however small the amount.

and

Anyone who would like to raise awareness of an illness currently affecting themselves, family or friends.
