OTTAWA, Nov. 19, 2014 /CNW/ - It has been said that Newfoundlanders and Labradorians have very big hearts. It is also said that we know how to laugh and have fun. We believe this to be true.

Throughout this past summer the people of our province embraced the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge and its chills with a warmth and compassion well beyond our modest expectations.

This unprecedented outpouring of kindness speaks volumes for the people of Newfoundland and Labrador who in turn will have their hearts warmed through the boost to research by our national ALS team and to client services by our provincial ALS Society.

We are humbled and extremely grateful!!
