I want to thank Todd and Marc for issuing
me the challenge. Accepting the challenged sparked a healthy debate in our
family. I’d like to share my conclusions on why I am participating.
There
are many issues that deserve as much attention as ALS. Juvenile Diabetes (former coworkers), Celiac
Disease (my family), The Crisis in Iraq (Brothers and Sisters in Christ), The
Ebola Virus Crisis (The world in General), <insert your hot issue here>
are all issues that deserve our attention as much as ALS. Please consider donating or being involved in
positive solutions for all these issues.
The
type of research matters to me (us). I
will be donating to John Paul II Medical Research Institute. If you want an explanation, please see the
following post.
I
don’t issue the challenge lightly to others. David, Jannai, and
Bryan, you all have the option ignore, support something else, or
participate as others have done. I will
not take offense if you decline. If you
wish to discuss this “off-line” I’ll be happy to do so. If you accept, I look forward to seeing your video.
With that - Praise God for the blessing this will be to
those struggling with ALS. I pray that
other issues also receive our same attention as a culture in the future.
