Foreman was challenged by his Ot- tawa cousin. "I accepted and paid a $10 dona- tion to the ALS Society while bring- ing awareness to this terrible disease," Foreman said on Monday. See his vid- eo, http://youtu.be/YHgxRMmkGR0 Foreman then went on to challenge Independent & Free Press regional managing editor Chris Vernon, pub- lisher Dana Robbins and Mississauga News/Brampton Guardian General Manager Bill Anderson. Vernon accepted the challenge prompt- ly and had a bucket of ice cold water poured over his head yester- day Wednesday while Robbins accepted Tuesday and will have the deed done at a fu- ture staff meeting. "It goes without saying, it is bit of a shock to the system," Vernon said. "It is a worthy cause. I was quite happy to participate in it," he added. "I think what we are seeing here is an example of the extraordinary power of social media." Halton Hills Mayor Rick Bonnette said he was the first in Halton Hills to take the Ice Bucket Challenge for ALS Awareness. He was challenged by the local Walk for ALS committee and he had 24 hours to accept and take the challenge. The event happened Satur- day at Menchies on Guelph St. All of the Menchies staff also did the chal- lenge. To view the Youtube video go to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N2 XGxPokANQ&feature=youtu.be "It was a chilly experience, but it was fun. The whole idea is for ALS awareness," said the mayor. Through the Walk for ALS commit- tee, Halton Hills is one the largest sup- porters of ALS in Canada. A platoon of Halton Regional Police officers at the Burlington detachment also took the Challenge yesterday. The Frates family in the United States created the Ice Bucket Chal- lenge on July 29. In just a few short weeks, it has propelled the neuro-de- generative disease into the national spotlight. The power of social media is help- ing ALS Canada bring awareness to a terminal disease that claims the lives of thousands each year. It is a progres- sive neurodegenerative disease that af- fects nerve cells in the brain and the spinal cord. Over time the nerve cells in ALS sufferers degenerate and die, which can lead to full muscle paraly- sis, respiratory failure and death. Only about 20 per cent of people with ALS survive five or more years. There is no cure for ALS and it is not contagious. The idea for the challenge is that the shock from the freezing cold water is supposed to temporarily cause paralysis similar to ALS. As part of the challenge participants have a choice to either donate $100 to an ALS association of their choice or accept the challenge and dump ice cold water over their head and do- nate only $10. They have 24 hours to complete the task once someone has nominated them. Those that accept the challenge are then allowed to nom- inate three other people. ALS Canada has set up a special web page, als.ca/ icebucketchallenge #ALSicebucketch- allenge for those who want to donate money. The Ice Bucket Challenge for ALS has so far raised more than $780,000 for ALS Canada and its provincial so- cieties, with challenges continuing to pour in online. The goal is $1 million.
