James Caan, you made a wise business decision 7 years ago and have made a lucky escape! : )<\/p>\n<p>We had great fun and congratulate Laban on his donation and great courage on this rather Autumnal day for August&#8230; He took the ice very well! The most important thing to remember is the great cause&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p>The ALS Association\u00a0 leads the way in research, care services, public education, and public policy \u2014 giving help and hope to those facing ALS, which is a degenerative motor union disease which can cause paralysis and even death.<\/p>\n<p>Click below to donate through their <a href=\"www.alsa.org\/\">website<\/a> and join the movement with the hashtags #StrikeOutALS #IceBucketChallenge #ALSicebucketchallenge<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.alsa.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-8113 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.goldgenie.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/Ice-Bucket-Challenge-1024x791.jpg\" alt=\"Ice-Bucket-Challenge\" width=\"1024\" height=\"791\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; So this morning we thought it would be a great idea to nominate our CEO Laban Roomes to<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":8119,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[24],"tags":[134,135,302,844,901,902,999,1475],"class_list":["post-8112","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-default","tag-als-association","tag-alsicebucketchallenge","tag-charity","tag-good-cause","tag-ice-bucket-challenge","tag-icebucketchallenge","tag-laban-roomes","tag-strikeoutals"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.goldgenie.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8112","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.goldgenie.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.goldgenie.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.goldgenie.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.goldgenie.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8112"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.goldgenie.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8112\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.goldgenie.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/8119"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.goldgenie.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8112"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.goldgenie.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8112"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.goldgenie.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8112"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
