I'm sure this doesn't tell the whole story but it is a bit concerning to me. Never like to see people taken advantage of. Especially when someone uses a righteous cause but don't have those same intentions. I'm sure there are people on here who have a better idea of the whole story and how accurate this is in terms of the big picture.

Wow, I know the story on most of these charity/non-profit organizations is that they spend a fair amount on admin/"raising money" but ALS appears to take it to a whole new level. That's brutal.

I just went to ALSA.org, clicked on about us, and than financials, they give 28% to research, not the 7% the video claims. Only 7% goes to Admin. They either changed the website very quick or this guys full of it.

He does say 2012 in the video which I guess he is correct but he chose to leave out the remainder of the money that is used for things like Patient and community services. So although accurate it is misleading by not showing the full picture.

Tried to go as big as I could.
I've seen a ton of these, and this is by far the best! Great job Steve!

100L of well water + two bags of ice each.. Nsfw for language apologies in advance ...

We did 100 to ALS and 100 to Canadian cancer society as that will probably be what gets most of our generation

I should have went first , and worn beach gear.. My reaction is girlish but genuine
