Doc Lucky’s ALS Ice water bucket challenge Rube Goldberg machine
The summer of 2014 will be remembered as the summer of the ALS ice water bucket challenge. http://www.alsa.org #ALSIceBucketChallenge. This was definitely a fun craze that has raised millions for ALS research. Crazes do end, but the need for research dollars doesn’t. Imagine another twist, videos gone viral seem to be perpetual, so our thought is to give all money generated from You Tube from this video to the ALS foundation. This only makes a difference if this weird little video goes viral and that’s where you come in. Please send this video link to ten close contacts with this message and ask them to do the same. Watch often and with a little luck the ice water bucket challenge will get royalty checks for years to come to use in the battle against this devastating disease.
Strong work to those that pass this on, you are good people.
Here is some behind the scenes trivia about the Doc Lucky’s ALS Ice Water Bucket challenge. The duck is Lucky Meisenheimer pet duck raised from a duckling by Lucky. The duck “whose name is Duck”swims the 1 kilometer Lucky’s Lake Swim every day with Lucky and others. Duck initially refused to take part in Doc Lucky’s ALS Ice Water Bucket Challenge, but later had a change of heart when he learned would trigger the counter weight that would dump ice water on Lucky. He seemed to take great pleasure in this job. The large wooden yo-yo seen in Doc Lucky’s Ice Water Bucket challenge was in 1994 the Guinness World Records largest yo-yo. It is 6ft tall and weight 820lbs. Lucky also has the Guinness World record for the largest yo-yo collection and if you notice he started the Doc Lucky’s ALS Ice Water Bucket challenge by using a Doc Ruger yo-yo from the Zombie Cause to set of the gate sensor that started the water polo ball rolling down the drive. The Doc Lucky’s ALS Ice Water Bucket Challenge is a Rube Goldberg machine, and no it did not work on the first attempt, there were many fails.
