Keethos 842 Report post Posted August 24, 2014 Thanks to Mas (hashiriya) from HKS who nominated me to take on the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge, I've seen a couple of vids of this Ice Bucket malarkey, mainly failed attempts though so didn't really know what it was all about. I had a quick Google, saw what this was really all about and set of to take on the challenge but also to donate to an ALS charity group, here's my vid: I've donated to the alsa.org charity group and I've also nominated Rob (rob275) along with 2 other friends so I expect your video to be on here Rob within 24 hours! I'm sure Mas will be on at some point and he can post up his vid of his challenge. 2 Rab and KevinA reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Keethos 842 Report post Posted August 25, 2014 It's not so much as do it cos everyone else is doing it, do it cos it's a laugh and donate anyways! I don't really know why they've specified 24 hours but do it anyways Rob! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rob275 1817 Report post Posted August 26, 2014 I'm not doing it, because only 8% of the donation would go towards research. 50% goes to the directors, do the maths.. Charity is a joke. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GT86Jay 202 Report post Posted August 26, 2014 Most of it is to just raise awareness for the Charity. Lets admit, if the ALS ice bucket challenge wasn't going round social. Would anyone know what ALS / the ALS charity is? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rob275 1817 Report post Posted August 26, 2014 Apparently their turnover last year was over 50million, imo no need for awareness. Perhaps if they put that money in to research rather than their own pockets they wouldn't need awareness. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hashiriya 52 Report post Posted August 26, 2014 Well done Keith. I picked you because I knew you'd be up for it. 2 Rab and Keethos reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Keethos 842 Report post Posted August 26, 2014 Thanks Mas, I'm touched that you even thought of me Come on Rob, I had no idea about ALS until Mas nominated me, I then had to research into what it actually was, so weather I did the challenged or not, I still became aware and donated, but I still took part and get nice and wet......and I nominated you because I too want to see you wet I'll supply the ice this weekend!
