Local pols take ice bucket challenge to raise awareness for ALS
Challenge accepted.
A little cold water was no match for Councilmember Vincent Gentile who, on Wednesday, August 20, set up shop outside his new district office at 8018 Fifth Avenue to accept the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge – a challenge that has gone viral in support of those fighting Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, otherwise known as Lou Gehrig’s disease.
“That’s colder than it looks,” said the councilmember after being drenched by Ridgeite Arlene Rutuelo and Assemblymember Nicole Malliotakis, both of whom had already accepted the challenge and, in turn, nominated Gentile. Rutuelo was nominated by State Senator Marty Golden, who accepted the challenge on August 18, and Malliotakis by friend John Papanier.
