The ALS Ice Bucket Challenge Is Colder Than You Think

I was nominated to complete the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge by my friend Ken Steeves, London Police's media officer.

In the days leading up to my nomination, I did hold some reservations about the campaign because of criticism over the actual challenge drowning out the cause. Despite the skeptics, the challenge continues to raise buckets of money, and awareness. To the nay-sayers, get dunked.

After my nom, I took some time to learn about ALS and how it affects those who have to live with it. I gladly dumped the bucket of ice water on my head a couple of hours after being nominated, and contributed a donation.

For more information on ALS and where to donate, visit ALS Canada.

On Saturday, September 27th, there is a fundraiser walk for ALS my family and I plan to attend.



Here's video I took of Ken Steeves taking a total of six buckets of ice water to raise money. The guy is fearless.
