In 2014 The ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis - 'Lou Gehrig's disease') Organization became involved in social media phenomenon challenging hundreds of people, including many prominent celebrities, to dump a bucket of ice water on their heads, a shocking sensation to the nervous system which the disease attacks.
