Pennsylvania state Rep. Brian Sims does the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge



Hunky and handsome out Pennsylvania legislator Brian Sims posts his recent video taking part in the "ALS Ice Bucket Challenge."  I think we're all a little disappointed that Brian chose to wear clothes, but admire him for bringing attention to ALS.

About the "Ice Bucket Challenge:"

As a part of the so-called “ice bucket challenge,” started by a Massachusetts resident who has lived with ALS since 2012 to raise awareness for the disease, after posting their own ice-bucket videos, participants nominate others to get drenched via social media to keep the cycle going. If those challenged don’t accept, or fail to post their video within 24-hours, they must donate cash to ALS research.

Every 90 minutes someone is diagnosed with ALS, or Lou Gehrig’s Disease, a devastating neuromuscular disease for which there is no effective treatment or cure. ALS impacts the brain and spinal chord, causing progressive paralysis.
