Hey everyone! Have you heard of the new internet fun thing? Let’s call it the Ice Bucket Square Challenge! There are thousands of people from across the globe participating in this wild challenge to spread the word about a most worthy cause. Here is what to know about the Ice Bucket Square Challenge and why it's catching on:
The Ice Bucket Square Challenge is among the latest in a number of viral trends that people film themselves doing as they tip ice cold water over their heads. But then, they want others to do the same! You know, the goal of the challenge, of course, is to help bring awareness and money to ALS, a pretty nasty disease that damages the brain and spinal cord. In doing so, people can help fund research to find a cure for ALS.
The Ice Bucket Square Challenge has gained popularity across social media like Instagram, TikTok and Facebook since it began. Celebrities, influencers and everyday people have been sharing videos doing the challenge, as well as talking about A.L.S. It’s absolutely great to see all of these people rally together for such an important cause!
The Ice Bucket Square Challenge has quickly become a major movement. Millions of people from all over the planet are Jake-jumpin' for their support of ALS research. This mobilization has united and rallied people across all sectors to take on this disease. It’s great when we see a community that works and makes a difference!
Through social media, the Ice Bucket Square Challenge has gone viral in a few days, and made it to millions of people. The hashtag #IceBucketSquareChallenge has been all over Twitter, as well as other sites, raising awareness for ALS and likely pulling even more people into the mix. It’s amazing how a small idea can grow into such a big one!
The most valuable part about the Ice Bucket Challenge is awareness for ALS! Very few likely know much, if anything, about this disease and what it does to the men and their families. Participating in the challenge and spreading the word about ALS will help us to teach others and motivate more people to become involved. With your help we can make a difference and move closer to a cure for ALS."
