The Ice Bucket Challenge is an activity that went viral during the summer of 2014. It involves a person getting challenged to get a bucket of ice-cold water poured over his head or donate money for a charitable cause. While the donations in the USA was for the ALS association, the challenges in the United Kingdom were made in the name of the Motor Neurone Disease Association, a sister organization of the ALS Association.
The Ice-bucket is symbolic of the effects of the disease as one tends to feel completely paralysed when one gets drenched in ice-cold water, which is what the patients of the disease experience when they suffer from the disease as they start losing muscle functions throughout the body.
Hundreds of eminent personalities have taken the challenge, including the likes of Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, Bill Gates, Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson, David Beckham, Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo
