The ALS Ice Bucket Challenge is an activity involving dumping a bucket of ice water on one's head or donating to the ALS Association in the United States that works for raising funds for patients of a motor neuron disease called Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis or Lou Gehrig's disease. It went viral throughout social media during the Northern Hemisphere summer of 2014. The challenge dares nominated participants to be filmed having a bucket of ice water poured on their heads. A common stipulation is that nominated people have 24 hours to comply or forfeit by way of a charitable financial donation.
