Valor battles Lou Gehrig’s disease with innovative  tactics.

What he is doing deserves your help.

He asks you to take a video showing ice water poured over your head — which Valor has done to himself — and then post your video on Facebook or on  other social media.

Also, he asks for donations of  $100 to speed up groundbreaking research to combat this disease.

 Send donations to SciOpen Research Group, 930 Wallace Ave. Suite #2, Aptos, CA 95003   The website states that it is a 401c3

Valor has battled the disease himself for more than 10 years.

Though Valor  cannot walk, speak or eat without help he has forged a new model for testing possible cures for ALS.

Using his right eye to operate his computer he has raised money to do a different kind of research which large pharmaceutical companies do not do.

  Using  “the cloud” he connects with labs for hire. He calls his research techniques  guerrilla research as  is it is fast moving  and relies on collaboration via “the cloud” with other researchers. The above is based on an article by Lisa Krieger 650 4924098 that appeared in the San Jose Mercury.

Thanks for posting this. I am trying not only to set an example of hope for living for other PALS, but also try to advance open science, citizen science, and change the way science is done back to amateur public participation.
