Relevant to this Community's Interests: Footballers Doing the #ALS #IceBucketChallenge Megapost
Don't want to highjack mrscrapbag's CR7 ALS Ice bucket post, but the number of footballers posting their challenges is getting pretty high and I thought it would be nice to have it in one place.
Before we delve into the depths of our favourite footballer's abs, I think it's best to mention what Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) or Lou Gehrig's disease is. ALS is a disease of the nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord that control voluntary muscle movement. One of the most common neuromuscular diseases worldwide, anyone can be targeted by ALS.
The #IceBucketChallenge has helped raise nearly £5M pounds for further research of ALS (even with the countless people doing the challenge without knowing its purpose).
EDIT: HIS ROYAL HOTNESS HAS AN ANNOUNCEMENT
So it's my turn now. Thanks @woodyinho
I'll do it in a few hours.
Any suggestions/ideas/hints for me to nominate?
