I've been nominated by three of my lovely friends and family to complete the challenge, whilst i completely support the fact that this is an absolutely amazing awareness and fundraising campaign and I'll be honest I'm very supportive of charities and the fantastic work they do to support people, I will not be taking on the challenge. I have to put my own health first and this is far to risky for me, In the photo below you'll see the advise given to asthma suffers. I know for me this is a trigger that could cause an attack, a risk I'm not willing to take. Having an asthma attack actually feels similar to the ice bucket, it's the panic as you struggle to breathe, speak, try to get help. The fear that every breath you struggle to take could be the last. 
So instead I have made a donation to MND (the UK name for ALS )via a just giving page of a friend who is also fundraising for them this year. I've also donated to Cancer research this month via a friends page who is walking a marathon for them next month. Finally I have also donated to Asthma UK using the above details, they are an amazing charity who provide support to the 5.4 million people in the UK that live with Asthma.
