"The fact that mnd have received over €1 million in donations, shows people do realise the reason behind the ice bucket challenge.
Also other charities have benefited from it too."
Yes its a great thing when people give money but how many actually do? |

Its mostly narcissism masked as altruism and anyone that is considering doing this should read this:

My dad has just been nominated. Whereas I've had to keep my mouth shut in other circumstances, I just explained to him what this challenge actually means.
Do you know what your money is paying for?
It's paying for animals to be tortured. It's paying for mice to have holes drilled into their heads and be infected with agonising and fatal diseases. It's paying for primates to be injected into their spines with agonising and fatal diseases. Did you know that 92 of every 100 drugs that show positive reactions in animals do not in humans? Flip reverse that and think how many cures we are missing because they don't show positively in animal tests. The only reason we carry on testing on animals while there are more effective ways to research (mass spectrometry, genome mapping, innovative imaging techniques and highly developed computer models capable of simulating parts of the human body as mathematical equations and three-dimensional graphical models, just to name a few) is because of MONEY.
The ALS Association, who are benefitting from this challenge, has only produced TWELVE positive drug reactions in animals in the last DECADE. Only one of which has gone on to help humans (a minor drug to ease some side effects). They have been given £48million just this last month to put into torturing countless more animals.
Not only this, but how awful that in a world, where we are closer to fighting over water than oil and 3400000 humans die every year because they don't have access to clean water, we are busy throwing it over our heads to avoid donating a full sum of money to charity. If everyone that has partaken in this challenge had donated a couple of quid to provide clean water to these people instead of wasting it, 260000 homes would be provided with water (from the source that I read stats from- can't find a confirmation of this info).
Please think before donating. Compassionate Care ALS provide holistic resources and care for sufferers and their families.
Alternatively you could search humaneseal.org to find charities that do not use animal research to donate to.
(^_^)/ let's care for all; not just for some.
***adding this interesting comment from the OP thread-
" Not only are ALS an awful so called 'non-profit' their management are also extremely well paid too. over 50% of the 24 million they raised in 2013 went to their staff wages. The head CEO earns $339k a year.
