Has anyone done the ice bucket challenge?

My mom thinks it's useless even though their raising money

 

I don't have any excuse for not doing it - I just don't want to.

 

Wait. There still are people who don't know what ALS is?

Oh wow. Definitely donating to an education fund if I get nominated

 

Cant do it theres a drought where I live so yeah.. aslo if I could I would have just donated money to the charity instead but eh thats just me.

 

Yes, I did it! I did the challenge on Sunday night and it was FREEZING COLD. But I feel better that I did it and donated money to the organization.

 

Yes... It was bloody horrible XD But for a good cause, and pretty thrilling if you're looking to spice up your day

 

ALS is more commonly known as Lou Gherig's Disease. So yea, people have heard of it.

Yes I did do the ice bucket challenge.

 

I donated money because my cousin nominated me and did the actual challenge today for fun (not nominated) because it was hot/I needed to stay awake.

 

Nope

 

This basically, though I think it's more like 40mil. Yeah people can donate anytime without the challenge but they don't. People who are involved in the challenge are donating money and cynics get a kick knocking it because it proves they're not ignorant plebs like the rest it's pretty sad

But what about the kids without water in Africa you dummies like fuck you actually give money to those charities

Don't start me on the animal testing thing, like yeah fuck all those people with the disease for the sake of some mice really

 

I am not agree with waste water, other need it. If you want donate only donate.

 

As someone not in the loop because I'm not a sheep I had no idea what this was till I read this post. So stupid.

It's for attention, not for ALS, people do it so they can be "cool" or show others and pretend their lives are interesting.

Just donate to disease research, don't post a video of you online so everyone can watch it and give you attention.

I don't mind attention whores, but I hate it when the general population jumps in.

 

Millions of dollars have been raised by 'attention whores' doing the ice bucket challenge it's just a fun way to cool off and raise money. Don't make such a big deal

 

I did it yesterday just for the hell of it and donated to the ALS foundation.

For those who say you're an attention whore for doing the video with it, that's incredibly cynical and really, it's just good clean fun for a good cause.

 

Was nominated.
Donated.

WHERE'S MY FREAKING BUCKET?!

As for the video, I thought it was part of the rules, no?

 

I'm happy to just donate some money to the Motor Neurone Foundation (the ALS charity here in the UK.) Sure, I'd dump dry leaves or liquid shit all over my body if it was for a good cause, but I can't be arsed with all that shit.

 

No, and I don't plan to. I'm perfectly capable of donating to charity without a bucket of ice water being poured over my head. Or I would be, if I had any money.

 

Well, I did the challenge n donated $100. For those who think its for attention, you're just jealous cause you've not been nominated. For those who claim its a waste of water...how long are your showers? Do you have a garden? A hot tub? Wash your car? Take baths? Better yet, how many bottles of your tap water have you sent to Africa, or California?

 

The purpose of "wasting" the water is to raise awareness as many people said AND to give you a few seconds of a fraction of the feeling actual ALS patients endure. At the later stages of the diseases they're unable to move anything. Ice water gives a feeling of paralysis for at least a second.

I did the challenge and it physically pained me. The water hurt and I was unable to move for about 5 seconds then shivered for about 10 minutes until I changed clothes. I also donated to the organization and posted my video.

I don't think it's fair for so many to say the challenge is worthless and to dismiss one disease or charity because there are others out there. Lots of people need help. Donate to who you want but never downgrade another because of your person feelings. It's a very ugly thing to do.
