Ice Bucket Challenge is Back, Area Teacher with ALS Nominated Steve Shannon[VIDEO]

The Ice Bucket Challenge is back again... why? Because last year over $100 million was raised for ALS research. I accepted the challenge after drying some tears.

#EveryAugustUntilACure.

I was challenged this year by an inspiring teacher at Whitman Post Elementary School in Rockton, IL. His name is Kris Grahnke and this video made me very emotional. This disease is quickly taking Kris away from us.

Thank you for including me Kris. Challenged accepted.

Here's who we nominated:

J. Scott Rollinson (former Whitman Post pricipal, now assistant superintendent of human resources in Harlem Dist.)

Kathy Sipe (our daughter's 4th grade teacher)

Ella Ewing & Morgan Williamson (students at Whitman Post)
