How does throwing a bucket of water over someones head have anything to do with ALS?


It spreads awareness. It was initially a funny thing to have you and your friends do it; then celebrities who were challenged started to do it.

On Youtube Bill Gates doing the ice bucket challenged has nearly 10 million views. Charlies Sheen has over 7 million views. Chris Pratt and Jimmy Fallon doing the challenge have over 2 million views.

The ALS Association has received $31.5 million in donations compared to $1.9 million at this same time last year. There have been well over half a million new donors to the association.

I get that it spreads awarness but it has nothing to do with ALS. They should have done some more relevant to the actual disease.
