Taking the challenge

Bellmore Chamber, All Island Yellow Transportation participate in ALS campaign

Posted

The Chamber of Commerce of the Bellmores and All Island Yellow Transportation, formerly Bellmore Taxi, recently took the ALS Association’s Ice Bucket Challenge, which asks participants to have ice water poured over their heads or make donations to the ALS Association, which supports research into a cure for ALS.

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or Lou Gehrig’s disease, is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that immobilizes patients. The Ice Bucket Challenge raised more than $115 million for research into a cure for the disease this past summer.
