YONKERS, N.Y. – A co-founder of the social media ALS ice bucket challenge, which has raised more than $200 million worldwide for Lou Gehrig’s disease research, died Sunday at the age of 37, according to the ALS Association. “Those of us who knew him are devastated but grateful for all he did to advance the fight against ALS. “It dramatically accelerated the fight against ALS, leading to new research discoveries, expanded care for people living with ALS, and significant investment from the government in ALS research,” the organization’s statement said. On the 5th anniversary of the challenge, Quinn, who was from Yonkers, New York, addressed a crowd in Boston. “Nobody knew the Ice Bucket Challenge would become a worldwide phenomenon, but we united as one because that is what it takes to change a disease like ALS,” he said.

Larry Falivena is spending three months traveling to MLB ballparks in an RV, and his family has joined him. But for Larry Falivena, a husband and father of two, accomplishing that goal is about much more than the game. A nod to "Iron Horse" Lou GehrigIn February, Larry and Shana Falivena met with the CEO of the ALS Association, Calaneet Balas. Gehrig, dubbed the "Iron Horse" for playing 2,130 consecutive games, retired from baseball in 1939 after being diagnosed with ALS. "This mission is more important than being comfortable and safe and protected in our own little bubble in Apex," Shana Falivena said to CNN.
