Remember everyone was doing the ice bucket challenge for ALS in 2014. There are reports out now that the funding raised from the participants have actually help lead to finding a gene called NEK1 (and it's mutations) which are linked to ALS. And now they have found the gene, scientists hoping to use this data to find a cure.
A new campaign is starting in August called "Every Drop Adds Up" and I'm sure the Steemit community can help out!
Now you can say water and ice will cure ALS
