Do Good
Remember the Ice Bucket Challenge from last year? Well for those who participated (and it was a lot of people), you’ll be happy to know that your donation made a difference!
The $220 million plus that was donated was partially respondisble for a new finding concerning the way certain proteins fail to function in ALS patients! Want to learn more? An ALS researcher led a Reddit AMA a few weeks back where he explains it.
Want to get involved? Well the challenge is actually still going on! Now named a yearly challenge, the ALS Association has declared they’re going to keep it going “Every August until a cure.”
