No one is more aware of how hard
it is to live with ALS than Stephen Hawking, the world’s most famous
physicist who has been suffering from an ALS-related condition for
decades now. Because of this, we knew it was only a matter of time
before we saw Hawking pop up in an “Ice Bucket Challenge” video of his own to help raise funds for finding a cure for ALS.
Unfortunately, Hawking said that
he couldn’t take the Ice Bucket Challenge himself because he had
pneumonia last year. However, he did recruit his three children Robert,
Lucy and Tim to take the challenge on his behalf, and sure enough, they
all enjoyed the wonderful sensation of having cold water dumped on their
heads. Hawking also urged everyone who watched the video to donate
money to the Motor Neurone Disease Association (MNDA) to help fund
research into finding a cure for the disease.
