We had a friend come down with ALS - in 18 months he was gone. He was 48 years old. It's a hideous decease that leaves your brain functioning while it paralyzes the rest of your body... You're basically trapped in your own body as it goes away on you. To me - that makes it a horror. Greg Brooks ran a very successful Chevrolet dealership... and was a hard worker and just an all around good guy. He had a beautiful '62 Fawn Beige/ Fawn Beige fuelie... and a killer '57 Cameo.
This Ice Challenge is a good thing and it's raised awareness and money... Whatever works.
Personally I donate in Greg's honor to The Moyer Foundation. That was Greg's wish. Jamie Moyer was a Seattle Mariner Pitcher... Typing this I misidentified another Moyer (Paul) whom we're friends with Paul was with the Seahawks as a player and later as a secondary coach... JAMIE was with the Mariners.
