    And if you're wondering what I'm doing about it, when I'm home from vacation tomorrow, I'm sharing a few videos on Facebook that I watched, of people with the disease, talking about the condition and how brutal it is on their lives. I'd much rather devote time to actually educating people, or at least attempting to inform them about it. I spent a couple hours last night researching it and becoming familiar with it - time that was far more valuable and informative than dumping ice water on my head ever would be.

    I may come off as a smug prick to people I know on FB, but I don't care. I've seen way too little sincerity and conviction around this from many people I know there. If I feel like playing a part, it will be to actually give people the tools to learn with, not to be entertained by.
