The Ice Bucket Challenge for MND / ALS
Hello there!
Thanks for stopping by!
Happy Happy Sunday!
Well, what a morning!
Grace had the icy cool idea to nominate her Mum
for the
ASL/ Motor Neurone Disease Ice-Bucket Challenge.
THANKS GRACE!!!!
ASL/ Motor Neurone Disease Ice-Bucket Challenge.
THANKS GRACE!!!!
So this morning, Dave trundled off to the DIY, because he decided the bucket we had was too small, and we needed more ice.
Our friend Gill was in charge of the camera,
and Romeo was also intent on getting in on the act.
Like I can’t see him behind me…
Oh, and the cat, too.
Afterwards, I asked,
“Why did you go so slowly???”
to which Dave replied,
“I didn’t want to make dents in your head with the ice-cubes!’
Do we believe him?
As we were going indoors, I did hear him say to a mate, who is laying the garden path for us,
“Now there’s something you don’t get to do very often.”
mmm….
I also opened a Just Giving Page last night.
Whilst it is vital to raise awareness of this horrible, debilitating disease, if I can raise a few pounds to help the cause,
then even better.
Many of you have already made a donation. Thank you.
Here is the link to my MND Just Giving Page.
Hope you can help us raise our contribution.
And now to the important part.
I challenge:
NIGEL MAY
LEONIE PUJOL
and
DEAN WILSON
to do the same.
AND
The Entire Claritystamp Design Team.
I read the rule book on nominations,
and nowhere does it say you can only nominate 3.
WE ARE A TEAM.
Let’s do this thing!
And just in case you forgot who you are:
Paul Church
Sam Crowe
Lynne Hammond
Dee Paramour
Jane Telford
Jo Rice
Maria Simms
Sylvia Marshall
Julie Owens
Kirsty Goodwill
Kelly Ketteringham
Mandy Branston
Elaine Milner
Sally Anne Hanes
Janet Pring
Linda Spencer
and
Ann Rascenet-Cole
You all have 24 hours to get it together.
Good job it’s a Bank Holiday Monday!!
lots of love,
Barb

You Little Bugger!!!!! Well done Barbara. I accept I suppose!!!! xxx OK it is a really good cause. xx And Dave yes you did do that a little slow and did seem to really enjoy it. Mmmmm wonder if you will get any nominations?????
Well done, Barbara, you made me smile – just waiting on being nominated by my kids 🙂 I have jumped out of an airplane to raise money for MDN – why didn't I think of this way before! It's affected our family unfortunately and I know that the funds raised will be gratefully received.
well done Barbara, that was great. Dave enjoyed it a bit too much I think 😀

Well done Barbara – and all while wearing a smile! Could not believe how much ice Dave put into the bucket lol. Mike and I will definitely be doing a donation to your page. Love to all from Helen and Mike xxx
Well done Barbara hope you get loads of donations love June xxx
I think that Dave enjoyed that just a little too much and poured a little too slowly!!!!
Well done Barb, I am glad I'm not in your DT right now lol! Be good if they could all get together to do it. I think Dave enjoyed that more than you lol!

Hi Barb,
Just wanted to say absolutely brilliant – well done you! Mind you I do think Dave possibly enjoyed that a little too much! I'm amazed that you didn't nominate him. Hope that we get to see Leonie, Nigel and Dean do their challenges. Great news about the donations too – I've donated, only a little I'm afraid. Love Alison xx
Hi Barbara well done keeping a smile on your face and yes Dave did enjoy that a bit too much 🙂 I hope everyone accepts your challenge – will Martyn do it too??? Will donate when we get back from hols but well done for raising so much already. Hope you are warm and dry too and the only ice now is in your G&T !! Take care love Diane G xxx
Well done you! Dave really took his time didn't he? Hope you have chance to get your own back.
LOL. Pat x
Well done, Barbara. Brave enough to do, but to have it filmed too..! Has anyone nominated Dave, I wonder.
Fantastic! I don't think Dave could have gone any slower!! The clarity team are beginning to take up your challenge , all in a good cause x
Oh, Barbara, you are such a good sport – well done! I love who you challenged too so I do hope you can give us links when they do theirs, esp the C&C presenters. Perhaps one of the Clarity team will nominate Dave, just because he did it so slowly!
Well done you! xxxxx
What a great sport you are x
You're a great sport Barbara, Dave seemed to enjoy that far too much!! Hope we get to see the C&C presenters taking part! x
