The ALS ice bucket challenge exploded earlier this month when Pete Frates (who's been living with ALS, also known as
Lou Gehrig's disease, since 2012) uploaded a video of the challenge to different social media sites. The challenge went viral and has opened up the eyes of the world to ALS and the struggles of those suffering through it.
For more information on ALS/Lou Gehrig's disease and to donate, please visit the ALS Association WebsiteSo what is the challenge?The challenge is that once nominated, you have 24-hours to make one of two choices:
1. Dump a bucket of ice water (preferably with lots of actual ice mixed in) over your head and donate $10 to the ALS foundation.
2. Do not dump a bucket of ice water and donate $100 to the ALS foundation
After picking one of the choices, you nominate/call out/challenge up to three other people to also take up the challenge.
The whole point of this challenge, though, is to raise awareness and money for ALS around the world, which it certainly has been doing. As of August 20th, the ALS foundation has received $31.5 million in donations, compared to $1.9 million during the same time last year (July 29 to August 20) (
