When I first heard of the ALS challenge I had no idea what the heck it was all about. Suddenly it was all over the place. Then I saw a video of Mark Owen the E&A founder (kind of liked seeing that!) taking the challenge and had been told that the Santa Clara Club had been challenged by the Seattle club. Always being a good sport or naïve, depending upon your point of view, I showed up to participate in the challenge. We did this at our Volley ball event for that week we managed to get 8 braves souls to take the challenge and 8 not so brave ones to do the fun part of actually dumping the ice buckets. I would like to point out that I understand now all the screaming in the other Ice Bucket Challenge videos. When that cold, cold water hits, your body feels the shock and you are amazed at the temperature. I noticed that we had filled up extra buckets and so said what the heck and asked for more and got it. I can tell you that the second bucket is as cold as the first. I lost the capability to speak for a few seconds! All in all it was a lot of fun and I’m glad so many decided to take the challenge. It was great way to raise money for charity and many of us took the challenge and donated money! I then made a video to challenge the rest of the Santa Clara club!
