I AM BREATHING campaigners in MND/ALS Ice Bucket Challenge
Channel: Scottish Documentary Institute
Date: 22/08/2014

Nominated by Louise Oswald, the campaigning team behind the MND/ALS documentary I AM BREATHING (http://www.iambreathing.com) accepts the #IceBucketChallenge in Edinburgh. 

We'd like to stress that the Ice Bucket Challenge was started to raise awareness of a devastating, incurable, debilitating, terminal and little-known disease called motor neurone disease (a.k.a. ALS/Lou Gehrig's disease) – and not for any other purpose you may see it being used for. We've each made our donations to the MND Association and MND Scotland and ask you to do the same.

Sonja Henrici nominates the film's Scottish BAFTA-winning directors, Emma Davie and Morag McKinnon, as well as actress Tilda Swinton.

Ben Kempas nominates our Danish co-producer Sigrid Dyekjær, Kezia Dugdale MSP who has promised to arrange a screening of I AM BREATHING in the Scottish Parliament, and Deputy First Minister Nicola Sturgeon MSP.

Rebecca Day nominates Susan Webster at MND Scotland, Stephen Waters and Islay Roberts.

In the UK, you can donate by texting ICED55 (for MND Association) or ICED14 (for MND Scotland) followed by the amount to the number 70070. Join us!
