Patrick Stewart Ice Bucket challeng

It's a series of publicity stunts to raise money for research and awareness of ALS/ Lou Gehrig's Disease.

And, well done, Sir Pat. I admire his solution.
 
LOVE IT!!!

Totally classy! I love it!

When I grow up, who do you think I want to be like?

(Though Bill, if you're out there, you're still #1 in my book.)
 
If that would have been me, it would have taken several takes since I usually tear a check in half trying to get it out of the checkbook.
 
Gates McFadden is the one who challenged Sir Patrick Stew.

I'm going to be a creep, but McNeil challenging the lovely Yvonne Strahovski just elevated him from good guy to my personal hero.

McFadden had probably the most honest and most personal video, so good on her that her nominations have spread so wide.
 
I love this man. He is one of the greats, but there is a point to pouring the ice bucket, if you don't know then look it up, but in short its to simulate what people with ALS go through constantly, the shock and pain and locking of the muscles. Of course not everyone has to do it. You can just donate and not do it which is fine, but why making a video ridiculing it. Again This guy is awesome and I have nothing against him. I am just saying there is a point to it.
 
I don't think he was ridiculing it, he was just having fun with it.

Patrick Stewart succeeded in raising awareness, he got us all talking about it. Does it really matter if he dumped the ice bucket or did his own variation instead?

Anyway I did Arctic Enema at Tough Mudder twice this year, so I've done my ice water duty. ;)
