Ice Bucket Challenge

[ATC]

ALS / Lou Gehrigs disease is a bugger and good on them for finding an innovative way to raise money.

But all stunts like this do is take charitable funds away from the other worthwhile causes.

With a forum this size (number of members), who here has heard of CRPS ( was knows as RDS)?
Apart from the doctors / medical people here I'd expect almost no one.

It has many of the same symptoms as ALS, but the cause is unknow, there is no cure, and the medication that controls it has just as may side effects as it prevents.

I have 2 family members with it.
To say its a bugger of a condition is an understatement.

When you have to admit your daughter to emergency to get a shot of morphine - to numb the pain, after a routine appointment then you have a bad disease.

I'll be giving my hard earned to research diseases that family and friends have.

If a celebrity wants to throw ice on the ground then good on them, to paraphrase a swaggers earlier post "I'm not wasting ice that can keep the beer cold"

At $5 bag that can go to a charity.

My family and I flew back into Australia after 2 weeks in Hawaii to find out as we stepped out of customs that my wife's mother to MND hours before we landed.
After i went back to work peeps would ask me how she died and i told them motor neurone..the amount of them who had no idea what it was astounded me.
Even if half the people doing the Ice Bucket Challenge don't donate it still raises awareness of this disgusting decease.

For making people throw up due to tequila shots, I took/ was forced to do the challenge.
