Well...sounds like the Northfield XC Team has proposed the Ice Bucket Challenge to the Mayo Cross Country Team! The kids have been asked to bring a bucket to practice on Wednesday...not sure what the plan is but they might come home wet!
If you are not aware of what this is...well, you must be sleeping, because it has been all over the media for the past few weeks. I am actually as oblivious as they come with respect to news...but this one I know about since my husband is a neurologist specializing in ALS...(he took the challenge last week and was on KAAL-TV doing it, just saying).
Anyway, the point being...the purpose of the Ice Bucket Challenge is to raise awareness about ALS and to raise money to support ALS research. They are encouraged to tweet/Facebook themselves while fulfilling of the challenge.
