Miami Heat coach Erik Spoelstra did the #ALSPepperChallenge to show support for the mother of his friend who’s suffering from Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis or ALS.
Erik Spoelstra recently went to the social networking site, Facebook wherein he posted a video of him eating two chilies, to help Patty, the mother of his friend Tom Haberstroh who’s battling ALS.
According to Erik Spoelstra, the therapy for people having this kind of condition cost a lot. This prodded him to participate in the challenge and encourage the netizens to do the #ALSPepperChallenge and to donate.
In the video, the Filipino-American NBA coach also challenged some of his friends including David Fizdale, Jason Jackson, and Ira Winderman, who could influence many to do the challenge and give some help.

My husband was diagnosed with Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis old 4 years ago at 61. The Rilutek (riluzole) and other medications given by his doctors did very little to help him. The medical team did even less. His decline was rapid and devastating. His arms weakened first, then his hands and legs. Last year, a family friend told us about Rich Herbs Foundation and their successful AMYOTROPHIC LATERAL SCLEROSIS TREATMENT, we visited their website www. richherbsfoundation. com and ordered their ALS/MND Formula, i am happy to report the treatment effectively treated and reversed his Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), most of the symptoms stopped, he is able to walk and able to ride his treadmill again, he is pretty active now.
