My #ALSIceBucketChallenge (it's in Spanish): http://bit.ly/1v5w3g5
As people who haven't been living under a rock know, many people including lots of celebrities have taken part in the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge with the goal of raising awareness and donations for the ALS Association for research and helping many people suffering from this disease. But because there are always people who find some reason to complain about everything, the success of this campaign has led some hate. I think the haters are in the minority, but as it often happens, this minority is very vocal and loud. In this video I decided to address what these haters claim to be the issues with the ice bucket challenge. You don't need to do the challenge if you don't want to. And if you don't have any money, you're not obligated to donate. But at least educate yourself on what ALS is, and don't hate on people for having fun with something that's ultimately very positive.
Issues I refute:
1) Why do you have to do a stupid challenge? Why can't you just donate?
2) You shouldn't need a challenge to donate. Some people are just doing it for attention or to get popular.
3) Many doing the challenge don't donate.
4) People doing the challenge only for attention is wrong and despicable.
5) Why waste water? There are children in Africa dying because they don't have access to water.
6) People are doing the challenge to AVOID donating money.
7) Most people don't talk about ALS in their ALS Ice Bucket Challenge videos.
What is ALS?
"Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and the spinal cord. Motor neurons reach from the brain to the spinal cord and from the spinal cord to the muscles throughout the body. The progressive degeneration of the motor neurons in ALS eventually leads to their death. When the motor neurons die, the ability of the brain to initiate and control muscle movement is lost. With voluntary muscle action progressively affected, patients in the later stages of the disease may become totally paralyzed."
What does the ALS Association do?
"The ALS Association is the only national non-profit organization fighting Lou Gehrig’s Disease on every front. By leading the way in global research, providing assistance for people with ALS through a nationwide network of chapters, coordinating multidisciplinary care through certified clinical care centers, and fostering government partnerships, The Association builds hope and enhances quality of life while aggressively searching for new treatments and a cure."
