The ice bucket challenge was an extremely effective fundraising mechanism. With as many worthy causes as there are, it’s very difficult to raise funds for research. “You gotta have a gimmick!” This gimmick spelled the difference between @ $40M and $100M.

Just because it’s genetic, and just because today there’s no cure, doesn’t mean that with proper research funding there won’t be a cure for ALS in the future. Cynicism never cured a thing.

It cured me of irrational exuberance.
