Thankfully so! But I ...Yes, it did raise millions. Thankfully so! But I know of several people who thought it was donate or do the challenge - not both. However my post was about the other 'awareness' posts that had absolutely nothing to do with the disease or situation it was supposedly promoting - like rolling on the floor like a slug. I personally participated in the ice bucket challenge with my kids - and sent a check to the ALS Therapy Alliance. An awesome organization that a friend volunteers for. I also donate regularly to other local and national causes. When I'm looking to raise awareness for these groups I do so in an informative way. Not asking my friends to post the color of their bra. I appreciate your taking the time to read and comment and I hope for more informative social media posts that raise awareness and support to help treat and cure ALS, heart disease, cancer and more.Gail Klanchesserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05391518967446315675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9035967141975837549.post-83764979687889475212015-05-10T17:43:28.175-04:002015-05-10T17:43:28.175-04:00"Awareness does not lead to donations, breakt..."Awareness does not lead to donations, breakthroughs in research and improvements in cancer treatments and survival."
