Strangely, my sister died 4 years ago from ALS which is extremely rare. But I don't get how well this campaign is working for the cause. I suppose some donations are better than none and playing to people's need to show off on social media can often take off. But I wish the reach was more educational instead of a meme like joke.
I've noticed (also noted in another post) that the call to action is weak or nonexistent. I've have several people (most that do not know how much experience I have with the disease) ask what it was and if they should participate and they still have no idea what ALS is or that this is a fundraising drive. Most don't bother to look it up.
- Terrible that the creator of the campaign died though that is tragic.shellie
- sorry to hear that Shellie, I hope that most of the money will go to the cause, but I wouldn't count on this.. sighGeorgesII
- That's what I am worried about. Most can afford the special computers that read eye movements so they can speak. My sister got one only months b4 she died.shellie
- My sister got one only months b4 she died. It was donated and not covered by insurance.shellie

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.

Pamela Anderson's take on this
"recent experiments funded by the ALS Association, mice had holes drilled into their skulls, were inflicted with crippling illnesses, and were forced to run on an inclined treadmill until they collapsed from exhaustion. Monkeys had chemicals injected into their brains and backs and were later killed and dissected."

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.
