ALS ice bucket challenge

Wednesday 24th August I was happily watching people doing their ice bucket challenges, snuggled up in my blanket and feeling fantastic that none of my friends had nominated me.

But hey I spoke too soon, and was nominated by two of my friends within the space of 24 hours.

Now, I really dislike being on camera, so it wasn't the ice that was freaking me out it was the camera. However I overcame my fears, sort of, and went for it. My neighbours joined in too, we had Konner and my mum filling up the bucket of ice and then we had my brother and Kenzie carrying out the evil action of pouring the stuff on me.

And then it was all over, freezing and drenched I get up and run to my kitchen door, only to realise that I wasn't aloud in and so I had to stand and strip off there and then, with my mother holding up a towel.
I must admit it was fun, even though I didn't want to do it at first. It really wasn't that bad. 

I'm happy to be supporting the ALS association because it is something that affects a lot of people. I nor anyone else I know has got the disease and I personally didn't really know what it was. This Ice bucket challenge has given me an insight into what it is and how it affects people's daily lives. So even though a lot of people are criticising it and saying that it's pointless etc. I believe it has risen a lot of awareness, it has for me anyway, and probably for a large majority of those who have gotten involved in this challenge.

I have donated to the motor neuron disease association (the British one) and given a gift of £5
