ALS Ice bucket challenge

[Bartrim]

Hey,

Thankfully I've been relatively quiet on the social media front and have been fortunate enough to avoid this (two people have said in hindsight they wish they had challenged me:)). Just wondering if anyone here has done it and wondered if you would like to post your vids (or links to) here for other ozformers to see.

I think it's a fun way to raise money and awareness for a great cause.

I guess not everyone's a fan. Seen so many videos on facebook and even politicians are doing it. The fails are hilarious though. :D

I got asked to do it, and so did

I did it last weekend. The video is on my Facebook page. My kids though it was hilarious. Made my donation directly to ALS as I had a friends dad fall victim to it.

I think its for a great cause and a fun way to raise awareness. Not many people know that the point of pouring ice water on yourself is to emulate the feeling of the cold creeping sensation of ALS.

Annoys me to no end when you get idiots like that guy on the news try to tear down a good thing.

Fact is without a clever gimmick to raise awareness for the charity people just wont donate to the cause no matter how much its needed.

No you don't. But the awareness this has raised couldn't have been done purely by donating alone ;)

You know what, you may be right. It worked for Kony 2012. I wonder what the next social media trend will be :rolleyes:
