Motor Neurone Ice Bucket Challenge

The ice bucket challenge raises more than €350,000 for the Irish Motor Neurone Disease Association (IMNDA) so far.

The latest online craze has already raised more than €350,000 for the Irish Motor Neurone Disease Association, with donations rising by the hour. The Ice Bucket Challenge has seen hundreds of thousands of people around the globe drench themselves with ice cold water in aid of motor neurone disease.  Participants film themselves doing the challenge and post it on social media, nominating others to follow suit.

Those who take on the challenge donate a small amount to charity, but those who refuse donate a larger sum. The phenomenon began in America last month and has raised millions of euro for Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) – The US term for motor neurone disease. It has since made its way across the Atlantic and has taken Ireland by storm. The ice bucket challenge raises more than €350,000 for the Irish Motor Neurone Disease Association (IMNDA) so far.
