Video: Saltus Staff’s ALS Ice Bucket Challenge

Saltus students started the new academic year today [Sept 2], and to mark the day and to emphasize the importance of making a contribution to society wherever possible, school head Claire Charlemagne, and deputy heads Chris Latimer and Jon Beard accepted the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge from Admissions Director Amanda Skinner.

The Ice Bucket Challenge phenomenon has swept the internet in the past few weeks, and Bermuda has not been immune to this, as witnessed recently by photos of the Governor accepting the challenge, along with BF&M employees, the company CEO John Wight and some of the island’s Roman Catholic Priests.

The rules of the ALS Challenge are simple: those who have been tagged or challenged by participants have two options — first, to record a video of themselves pouring a bucket with icy cold water over their head or have someone else do it for them; second, to donate to an ALS charity of their choice.

This is done to promote awareness of the disease called amyotrophic lateral sclerosis [ALS] or Lou Gehrig’s disease while at the same time encouraging more people to donate to its research cause. Most participants will donate to the cause even if they accept the Ice Bucket Challenge.
