I dont have $100 to donate to a charity, nor do i have any inclination to perpetuate this. I think fundraising is great, and if you can think of a gimmick which helps move it along even better, but this is just wasting resources.

this is my lady doing the challenge, i've also done it and we've both given to the cause, would also like to add that we both give to macmillan cancer support charity as my mother in law has survived cancer, and my grandad unfortunately was taken by cancer, this ALS cause is a great idea and also a bit of fun.

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.

was diagnosed with ALS at 30. I’ve been filming every angle of this disease for the last 10 years. In October, I’ll turn 40. Damn, where does the time go? I started shooting a film as a “f-ck you” to ALS. My cinematographer, Ian Dudley, has this old Russian 35mm camera with these amazing lenses. It was important to me that we get it down on film because ALS is a very physical disease. If it was going to steal my being, I would replace it with celluloid.

Did Patrick (Transfatty) ever get his movie finished? It was certainly funded.

I nominate you for the 'give money to charity without being an attention seeking twat' challenge.

Is Transfatty still going? Great if he is...he must have been diagnosed close to 10 years ago??? Normal life expectancy after diagnosis is in the region of 2-3 years from what I hear...popular football coach here in Melbourne just diagnosed last year and he said something like that.

I'm doing one this afternoon.
One of my nominees is going to be 3point14159.

Why would anyone bag this movement? It's raised $20m+ more than last year & the poor bloke that died...he was a pioneer. It's a brilliant idea.
