Marc's Ice Bucket Challenge
This is my #IceBucketChallenge video which I had to make after Elizabeth from NerdLush.com called me out to help build awareness for ALS aka Lou Gehrig's disease. This amazing feat of strength and courage was conducted at the docks in front of Marination Ma Kai which is located at Alki Beach in West Seattle. As you can see in the pictures above, the Ice Bucket crew had to stick around for dinner!
For me, this is a very worthy cause as I have been a fan of Mr. Gehrig ever since I did a report on his life way back during my high school days. He was one of the greatest baseball players ever to play the game until ALS took away his career and eventually his life although his suffering helped to build an initial awareness of this crushing disease. Please visit ALSA.org for more information on how you can donate to or participate in this very worthy cause.
Why are people doing this crazy challenge?
