Responding to the challenge issued by Taiwan's newly appointed Minister of Economic Affairs Woody Duh yesterday, EVA Air Chairman KW Chang accepted the "Ice Bucket Challenge." This morning, Chang staged an aerial wet-body event on the 12th floor terrace of EVA's second training center and doused himself from head-to-toe with ice water.

Dripping wet, Chang passed the challenge on to three friends, inviting them to repeat the feat for the benefit of the charity. Chang urged EVA Air's best advocate Takeshi Kaneshiro, President and CEO of Boeing Commercial Airplanes Ray Conner and CAA Director General Jean Shen to get their buckets of ice water ready and help to raise awareness of ALS, a paralyzing condition that is also known as Lou Gehrig's Disease.

Chang made a personal donation of US$10,000 and appealed to the public to support the campaign to help fight the rare disease.

Mr. Kaneshiro, we look forward to seeing you all wet!
