Since Head Coach Dabo Swinney just did the ICE BUCKET challenge for the fight against ALS I thought that I would share the video below:
WARNING DISCLAIMER: This one will put a lump in your throat. Do not watch if you are the following:
1. A pompous a**hole
2. Have no compassion for others
3. If you're only going to complain that this isn't football or sports related to Clemson
I am posting this video here because many folks do not even know what ALS is. I have lost a really good friend to ALS. It is hard to watch someone die slowly from this disease. The man in the video is right. Only 30,000 people in the US have ALS so the pharmaceutical companies have no real incentive to create a medicine or a cure for this disease. This is why it is important for us to raise money and awareness for this disease.
Our country won't go on forever, if we stay soft as we are now. There won't be any America because some foreign soldiery will invade us and take our women and breed a hardier race.
