The challenge, inspired by Pete Frates an ALS sufferer, raises money and awareness for Lou Gherig’s disease also known as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Those who are nominated pour a bucket of ice water over their head or donate 100 dollars. Most people do both. The challenge spreads quickly on social media with many celebrities and non-celebrities taking part, posting their variations on the challenge to YouTube. Since July 29, $13.3 million has been donated.

Donation0 Comments

Carter takes the Ice Bucket Challenge in aid of ALS research. He nominates Daniel Ek of Spotify and John Legend. He says because of the drought that he will only douse himself with a glass of water. However, he is surprised by Stirling, who throws water on him from the roof of the building.

I was just gonna donate but now I feel the peer pressure.
