We had the great opportunity to deliver an Ice Bucket to New York Governor Kathy Hochul. We discussed complex issues such as clinical trial recruitment and ALS clinical care in the state of New York. By delivering Ice Buckets we can continue to remind our legislators to improve the lives of people living with ALS until there is a cure! #IceBucket10

We made a "splash" with the FOX 5 DC team at the annual CEO Soak event in Washington DC! Fox 5 anchor, Mikea Turner, is no stranger to #ALS after her friend's mother was diagnosed with the disease. We would like to thank Mikea for her longtime support and everyone who helped make this inspiring event possible.

We had the pleasure of meeting Laura Mitchell on Wednesday, a young mother who was recently diagnosed with ALS. She works in hair and makeup for CNN and asked for one of our ice buckets so she could help raise awareness of ALS. We are here for Laura and everyone out there living with ALS and their loved ones. Let's make ALS livable and cure it. #IceBucket10
