Anthony Carbajal is one of the most famous ice bucket challengers.
He’s the man who danced all sexy and washed a car before his ice bucket challenge, then got real to the camera. Like really real.
He tearfully spoke about his fears about ALS because of his recent diagnosis that he too has the disease, just like his mother, Catherine Scott.
She has pretty advanced ALS and needs a wheelchair and help getting around.

When Anthony’s sister Vanessa got married, Catherine was there for her daughter and even got out of her wheelchair to stretch her legs!
Then the worst happened: she lost her balance, fell and hit her head so hard she didn’t understand why paramedics were there, trying to treat her.
Vanessa said:
“She was asking why they were there, were they there for her. She had no idea that she fell. She had no memory of it whatsoever. So, that’s when my heart dropped, and I was kind of like, ‘Oh my gosh.’ It was a really scary moment for us.”
Thankfully, her mother was okay.
She was actually so okay, she left the hospital and rushed back to the wedding, making it just in time to share the last dance with her daughter!!
