Why is There Ice on my Bow Tie?

I took the Ice Bucket Challenge to help raise awareness for ALS. ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) is a motor neuron disease. In addition to donating to ALS, we’re also donating to CODR (Casa de Orientación y Desarrollo Real).

Watch me get ice on my bow tie in this video!

Ice Bucket Challenge

The ice water was refreshing in the Texas heat!

Emily and I are donating money to both ALS and CODR. CODR is a group home for at-risk female students so they can attend university in a safe environment. Emily volunteered at CODR in the Dominican Republic.

We were nominated by Mommy Points and now we’re inviting a few fellow miles & points bloggers to take the ALS ice bucket challenge!

Stefan from Rapid Travel Chai, Bonnie from Frugal Travel Lawyer, and Kendra from Points and Pixie Dust, please join us in taking the challenge!

Bottom Line

The Ice Bucket Challenge is a fun way to raise awareness about ALS. And beat the Texas heat!

Please share the video to spread the word, but more importantly, share your generosity!
