The above link will take you to the video of my ALS Awareness Ice Bucket Challenge. 

As the video states, I completed the challenge after rigorous exercise in awareness of the limitations ALS puts on its victims, halting their ability to exercise, and basic mobility.  I also state that I have donated to the ALS Guardian Angels (www.alsguardianangels.com) in memory of Mrs. C. Dennie's mother.  Mrs. C. Dennie is a 5th grade teacher at Riverside Intermediate School.  I have chosen to donate to the ALS Guardian Angels, as they helped Mrs. Dennie's family to make a bathroom remodel for her mother when she was wheelchair-bound. 

I have challenged ALL of my homeroom students for the ice bucket challenge.  I explained to them that they DO NOT have to participate.  I also explained that if you are unable or unwilling to donate online, students can bring a cash donation to me, and I will make one lump sum donation for our classroom. 

The purpose of the challenge is to raise awareness.  I have talked to the class about the true purpose of the challenge.  If you have any questions, please contact me :)
