Despite all of the arguing, bickering, "soap boxing", and justifications. The fact that we are all talking about issues like ALS and water conservation makes this whole thread a "win".
If you want to do the challenge, do it. If not, don't. Do something else instead, or just donate. If you can't do any of that, then hopefully, at least you are more aware of what ALS is and how it affects those with it, and those who know someone who has it.
People affected like Stephen Hawking (theoretical physicist & cosmologist), and Don Post (winner of the Betty Jane France Humanitarian Award). Look Don up. Despite having ALS, he is a true inspiration.
