Stab Yourself In The Leg to Raise Awareness For RLS

Fargo, ND – We all know someone who’s afflicted with RLS. That’s right: Restless Leg Syndrome. This crippling, unfortunate illness affects millions of Americans worldwide. To raise awareness for this common problem, a local man has started a campaign entitled “The Stab Yourself In The Leg Challenge”.

Hink Bushbagger has been fighting restless leg syndrome for most of his life. “Ever since I was a kid, my leg’s been jumpin’ and dancin’ all on its own, even when i’m sitting still,” says Hink. “A lot of times I feel like jamming a pen in there to stop it.”

Recently, Hink witnessed a number of amusing videos on Facebook containing various people having big buckets of ice water dumped on their heads as a means to raise awareness for the degenerative nerve disorder Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, or ALS. This made him think.

Today, with the help of his loving wife Peppa, Hink started the RLS campaign. “I challenge my brother Herl, my uncle Crup and my life coach Andrea. Now, i’m going to stab myself in the leg with this ball-point pen.”

Won’t you help? If you hear your name mentioned in a leg-stab video, please, answer the call and heave that pen into your quadriceps with the cameras rolling in the name of RLS. It’s our only hope.
