Not one to pour cold water on a fun fundraising idea, the Respect Life Office of the Archdiocese of St. Louis is asking people who are taking a popular "ice-bucket challenge" to direct donations to an alternative source that funds morally acceptable research for a cure of Amyotrophic lateral Sclerosis (ALS), often referred to as Lou Gehrig's Disease.
ALS is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and the spinal cord.
