Team Global Genes was all smiles as they challenged others to the #ALSIceBucketChallenge. The challenge has been taken on by many in the rare disease community to raise awareness for ALS.
Nicole Boice, who took on the challenge for Global Genes, took a moment to nominate some others in the community including Kerry Hughes at Harmony for Hope, Stephanie Fischer at PhRMA, the girls from Cimmorelli, Julie Jenkins of EveryLife Foundation, and Scott Shirely from Uplifting Athletes.
