ice bucket challenge

[markc123]

Think about it, what sticks i your mind more, a soppy advert on tv about some poor sod who has to walk 200 miles a day for a cup of water or pouring a bucket of ice water over your head or in fact watchig others do it? Carry on I say it hasn't harmed anyone (yet) and it's for a good cause crack on!!

Wrong.

I happen to know of one celebrity (who I know well and have worked with) intends to do the ice bucket challenge live on stage at a festival this weekend in response to donations from the crowd (and himself). I can't see any negative in that at all - its fun, it's fundraising and it's wholesome. Having just lost another old friend to cancer last night, bring it on is what I say.

It had to happen, I've been nominated.

 

[trev]

I'll do it if there's £100 on the table from you lot for Help For Heroes.
I know it's supposed to be a cancer charity but.......

 

[trev]

There's a tenner on the table lads n lasses, the donor wants to remain anonymous. Come on, some of you must want to see a Geordie get a soaking

 

[trev]

We're up to £20.

Tidy boiler you're right. It is ALS and our equivalent. The idea of the ice cold water is it gives the same affect that ALS does. Something to do with nerves and the ice cold water making them react in the same way for a few seconds...

I used to nurse a woman with MND and it is a horrific condition. Her mind was sharp and she used a keyboard that she operated by the blink of an eye. She wrote a book about the torment she went through daily and how people didn't understand how her nerves reacted. Any disease is terrible, but these neurological ones are just horrendous. I would happily donate to MS, Parkinsons, MND or any similar charities.

I can't imagine what it's like to have something like that but do believe eventhough it is a bit of fun, it is a good way of raising awareness

 

[trev]

You have no idea how much I despise that worn out hackneyed phrase. It's completely pointless, I'm "aware" of a whole load of things but because I'm doing nothing about it that "awareness" doesn't mean a thing.

 

[uksparks]

If I log on to Facebook and see another person pouring water over their head I'll go flipping mad, I'm sure it's for a good cause, but it's getting annoying now.

 

[dingledong]

Don't log on to face book then
It will soon run its course only another 10 million people to do it:smilewinkgrin:
