One thing we all have probably heard of by now is the ALS ice bucket challenge. This challenge has been going around for quiet some time now, all throughout social media. The AlS ice bucket challenge is when someone as the name states dumps a bucket of ice water on them. The reason why it is ice water is because when you dump the bucket of ice water upon you for a few seconds you feel paralyzed and simply cannot move, this is exactly how the people with ALS live daily. Once they are diagnosed with ALS their body slowly stops functioning, until they loose their speech and movement. The challenge is to spread awareness about this disease. You can choose to donate with or without doing the challenge to their cause.
the following website is for anyone that might be interested in donating.

The ALS Bucket Challenge has certainly raised awareness. Of course, there are many haters out there who like to criticize and complain. But I think people should focus on the good things of this challenge. So many people are participating, and I feel as if we should also start raising awareness for other illnesses too!
