Ice water is starting to drench the political scene.
A number of political figures have taken on the Ice Bucket Challenge to raise money and awareness for Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) – or Lou Gehrig's disease.
Started by Pete Frates, who has lived with ALS since 2012, the campaign asks participants to dump a bucket of ice water on their head and then nominate their friends to do the same.
Social Web tackles the #IceBucketChallenge
Those friends have the opportunity to follow their friend or donate $100 to ALS awareness.
President Obama declined to do the challenge and pledged to contribute to an ALS charity instead.
Here's a few politicians who've embraced the ice water:
Rep. Joe Kennedy, D-Massachusetts, was one of the first to pour water over his head.

Ice Bucket Challenge is meaningful,more and more people are concern about the illness. And people can realize the pain of the patient through the event.
回覆刪除In my opinion,it will be a good way to rise everyone's attention to the patients.People will start to think about what they can do for them,like donating money or give them love and courage.Also,with the initial actions of celebrities,people may more attempt to do something for patients.
