In January MGH launches a new trial designed to test 5 ALS treatments at once at 53 sites. That is not a typo.

To help them finish what @PeteFrates3 started and honor his life, we are bringing back the Ice Bucket Challenge because we can't rest (even under docs orders).

At least not until we can say the words, "ALS: You gone."

So right after the Times Square takeover, @D_Carnival and I went to the fitness center on the 23rd floor of the Times Square Marriott with 1 goal: to announce to the world that this is our time to end this fight.

And to record this 👇

Today as I recover from the ER I have so much hope that we will win this fight. And that I will be here to see that day.

To turn that hope into reality we are asking for all donations raised through IBC2 to go to expediting the MGH trial.

All donations are tax deductible and every dollar raised will go directly to the 5 treatments.

Funding => Treatments in trials => Treatments in patients.
