ATLANTA - Prompted by Hobbit actor John Bell, Jed Brophy took the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge while a guest at this year's DragonCon in Atlanta. Jed was there as part of the "Tolkien's Middle-earth" programming track and along with Craig Parker, Adam Brown, Manu Bennett and Billy Boyd, served as celebrity guest for the show. As part of his efforts, he visited the swimming area at the Marriott Marquis and took the icy plunge to raise money and awareness for ALS, or Lou Gehrig's Disease. He also challenged Parker and Brown to accept the challenge.

The attention - and support - from this "challenge" has been amazing. As a regular donor to ALS research (I know a local family which has been devastated in every generation by this disease, so I've seen its effect first-hand), I am pleased to see so much attention being given to it! Now, for Craig and Adam to rise to the challenge...
