The latest online viral phenomenon is the “Ice Bucket Challenge.” Basically, folks pour a bucket of ice water over the heads and then challenge 3 people to do the same. It’s all in the name of raising funds and awareness for ALS or Lou Gehrig’s disease, as the deadly form of muscular dystrophy is known.
Celebrities like Jimmy Fallon, Conan O’Brien, Matt Lauer and tons more have taken the challenge. Musicians are getting in the act too, as are out favorite reality stars! He’s a compilation of alums from American Idol, The Voice, X Factor.
There’s nothing more lol worthy than people being doused with ice cold water! Enjoy. And of course, its for a very good cause.
For more information, and to donate, check out ALSA.org.
