If you think of a celebrity, they will probably have a video of them completing the challenge.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/QFF6EWVSACE?rel=0\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"inline\">What is ALS?<\/h2>\n<p>With all of the videos around, it is easy to forget exactly what ALS is. ALS (which stands for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, otherwise known as MND, motor neurone disease in the UK) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease, which affects the nerve cells in the brain and the spinal cord. The degeneration of the motor neurons, which pass messages around the body, means that the brain will slowly lose its ability to control muscle movement.<\/p>\n<p>The disease, which currently has no cure, causes eventual paralysis and death. It\u2019s easy to see why this is such an important cause to donate to. <\/p>\n<h2 class=\"inline\">Taking the challenge<\/h2>\n<p>Would you take part? I\u2019m hoping that someone challenges me soon\u2026 I\u2019d love to nominate some of the ladies working at XEscorts to take part, and maybe even some of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.xescorts.com\/england\/london.html\" title=\"escorts in London\">escorts in London<\/a>.
