These Pathfinder employees accepted the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge from our very own Michelle Murray in order to raise awareness for this terrible disease. We would like to challenge Scott Diehl from our Canadian office, Jim Blevins from our Houston Office and since our President and COO was traveling at the time we challenge Steve Cabano.
Here are some facts:
ALS occurs throughout the world with no racial, ethnic or socioeconomic boundaries.
ALS can strike anyone.
ALS is not contagious.
The onset of ALS is insidious with muscle weakness or stiffness as early symptoms. Progression of weakness, wasting and paralysis of the muscles of the limbs and trunk as well as those that control vital functions such as speech, swallowing and later breathing generally follows.
We have been collecting donations in the office and will submit it to the ALS Association.
