Ice Bucket Challenge Fundraiser Anthony Carbajal Wins 2015 Cash, Sweat & Tears Award

ALS has gripped Carbajal's family for generations. His grandmother Marie was diagnosed with the disease when Carbajal was in middle school and died six years later. His mother, Catherine, has been living with the disease since he was in high school.

In 2013, Carbajal began feeling weakness in his hands, arms and shoulders — weakness that made it almost impossible for him to continue his work as a professional wedding photographer.
