Staff from ALS United CT and board member Judd McArthur were at Milford’s Lou Gehrig Field to recognize the 10-year anniversary of the Ice Bucket Challenge. Lou Gehrig’s mother lived in Milford and was a huge fan of baseball, especially the little leagues.
Ten years ago, the viral phenomenon known as the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge raised over $220 million worldwide and supported the development of two new FDA-approved drugs and many identified genes. But we still have a long way to go.
During Tuesday’s Ice Bucket Challenge, ALS United CT dedicated the event to all those who have supported ALS United CT through the years, to Pete Frates, Anthony Senercia, and Pat Quinn, who started this transformational sensation, and to all those we have lost to ALS in the past decade.
