Channel: UDiON Foundation
Date: 19/08/2014

Yesterday Radyan Rahave, UDiON Foundation Director of Global Operations challenged me to do Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) Ice Bucket Challenge.

I accepted his challenge, and now I’m challenging Novel laureate Dr. Mohammed Yunus, Founder of Grameen Bank, Sanjay Gupta, CNN Anchor and Chief Medical Correspondent and President Barak Obama.

You guys have 24 hours to complete the challenge or you have to donate to the ALS Foundation, …..do both.

Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), often referred to as "Lou Gehrig's Disease," is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and the spinal cord. Motor neurons reach from the brain to the spinal cord and from the spinal cord to the muscles throughout the body. The progressive degeneration of the motor neurons in ALS eventually leads to their death. When the motor neurons die, the ability of the brain to initiate and control muscle movement is lost. With voluntary muscle action progressively affected, patients in the later stages of the disease may become totally paralyzed. Finding ways to treat and cure ALS is an important cause. Let’s circulate and find out more about ALS here www.alsa.org.

PS:
Why I challenged those people, well those are the people who has the ability to make bigger impact and make a difference, of-course all of us can make difference and play huge role in the process – Radwan Chowdhury.
