A number of The Drumheller Mail staff took on the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge Friday afternoon.

The ALS Society has a goal of reaching three million dollars through its cool fundraiser that has taken off like wildfire over the past few weeks, with people taking part in the challenge posting their videos online.

The Drumheller Mail nominates Drumheller's Re/Max Realty, Hometown Realty, and Century 21 Power Realty to take the Ice Bucket Challenge.

ALS, short for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and also known as Lou Gherig's Disease, is a neruo-degenerative disease that claims the life 2 to 3 Canadians every day. ALS presently has no known cure or effective treatment. For every person diagnosed with ALS, a person living with ALS dies. Approximately 2,500 to 3,000 Canadians currently live with this fatal disease.
