Another Co-Creator of The ALS Ice Bucket Challenge Has Died

[OneEyedDiva]

"Patrick Quinn, who helped popularize the viral Ice Bucket Challenge that has raised over $220 million for global research into amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or ALS, died on Sunday, according to the ALS Association. He was 37. Along with Peter Frates and Anthony Senerchia, who both also died from the disease, Quinn is credited by the association with co-creating the 2014 challenge that became a viral sensation and helped support research and treatment of ALS."

I remember when that challenge was going viral and wondered why people were doing it at first. So sad that they died so young but at least they left a powerful legacy. May they all R.I.P.
