Hello guys I got nominated by @Emelia Ngoy to do the ice bucket challenge, and as you all know how cold the ice is I still had to do it because I got nominated to do it and my nominations are @Ester Bahati @Yor Africano Dreama Asheen @Jacob Lahai and @Osman Kamara you all have 24 hours to do this ALS bucket challenge. Make sure you all do it properly dont be silly because so far one 18 years old teenager boy has died from this ALS bucket challenge. Good lucky guys. And for donation go visit this website alsa.org/donate/ Theres no cure for the disease as of the moment. The goal of the several groups affiliated with ALS Association is to raise money for research and patient services while at the same time raising awareness. The rules of the ALS Challenge are simple: those who have been mentioned or tagged by participants have two options to complete the said challenge. The first is to record a video of themselves pouring a bucket of ice-cold water over their head. The other is to donate $100 to an ALS charity of his or her choice. There are cases, especially those who are of celebrity status, would still pledge to donate and at the same time pour themselves with the ice water. Its virality on social media did result to the massive increase of support poured in to ALS charities. New York Times reported that the association had received $41.8 million in donations from July 29 until Aug. 21. Despite its popularity, there are still those who refuse to take part in the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge. Its social media exhibitionism, more about attention-seeking than philanthropy, the Telegraph stated. William MacAskill, Vice-President of Giving What We Can indicated that though the intention of the movement is good, its sudden surge of popularity cannibalized potential donations that other charities would have otherwise received.
