Let me start by saying that this is a good cause and I support anything that fights a disease. But this Ice Challenge is not something that I am very fond of. Originally, I was only aware that you either do the Ice Challenge or you donate $100. Wow. Pouring ice over yourself. Aren't you a wonderful person. Raising awareness? Yes. Actually doing something? No. This did not sit right with me, so in my video I said I was also donating to a charity of my choice, the Trevor Project.
After I uploaded the video to Facebook, I was messaged by a friend who told me that you were supposed to donate $10 when you did the challenge. Unfortunately, not everyone is aware of this - including me. This challenge has been hijacked by social media and is no longer for ALS, but for the person doing the challenge. Not one of my Facebook friends mentioned anything about donating. Except for my cousin. Good on him!
The ALS Ice Challenge is a self absorbed shout into the void. "Hey look at me - I'm supporting a cause."
Rant over now. Here's an adorbs pic of Hannah Hart to make up for it.
