Another bucket challenge

I had a lifelong friend named Tot.  Her mother was my brother’s fifth grade teacher and then mine.  I was close to her beautiful daughters and even though they no longer live around here, I am still close with one of her daughters and her stepson.  She lost her battle with ALS some years ago and for me the bucket challenge that has swept the web has been more than an annoying viral sensation.

Although ALS is somewhat rare as far as diseases go, it is so utterly devastating.  It robs a person of everything, little by little.  It takes a vibrant, healthy person and leaves them wheelchair bound and struggling to communicate in no time at all.  That is why I have applauded every bucket challenge I have witnessed.

Now I see plenty of pushback on social media.  People are growing tired of the viral status that the bucket challenge has achieved.  But my point is, I have grown mustaches in November.  I have walked for a cure to cancer.  I give change for children.  I cannot do enough but if I can help anyone live healthier or happier I am up to the challenge.
