The Ice bucket challenge is an activity involving dumping a bucket
of ice water on one’s head or donating to the ALS Association in
the United States. It went viral throughout social media during the
Northern Hemisphere summer of 2014.
The action is aimed at raising money for research into ALS
(amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, a form of motor neurone disease)
and in the UK to raise money for the Motor Neurone Disease
Association and Macmillan Cancer Support.
But braving freezing water is not enough, a small donation is also
expected and so far #icebucketchallenge has raised more than
$22.9 million for charity.
After an icy soaking the participant then nominates two or three
further people to undertake the challenge within 24 hours. Those
who forfeit the challenge must donate a larger sum of money to a
good cause.
