ALS Ice Bucket Challenge

The Ice Bucket Challenge has gone viral throughout social media, with well-known celebrities taking part such as Simon Cowell, Tom Cruise and Tiger Woods.

The rules of this challenge is, within 24 hours of being nominated, record themselves having a bucket of ice water poured on their heads and calling out the names of other people to take part in the challenge. If they decide to forfeit they make a donation to the ALS Association.

The ALS Association is an American charity which raises money and awareness for Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis. It all started by an American baseball player who was diagnosed with ALS, also known as Motor Neurone Disease in the UK. The support of this challenge has raised millions so far, with donations in the UK going towards the Motor Neuron Disease Association and Macmillian Cancer Support.
