In honour of the 10th anniversary of the ALS/MND Ice Bucket Challenge, we’re thrilled to share our special member video compilation. It showcases our members participating in the challenge around the world to spread HOPE to every corner. Please join us in sharing it!
What is the Ice Bucket Challenge?
In 2014, professional golfer Chris Kennedy posted a video dumping the first bucket on behalf of his cousin Anthony Senerchia Jr., who was living with ALS/MND. He then challenged his network to either do the same or make a donation to fight ALS/MND. Pete Frates and Pat Quinn, both people living with ALS/MND, soon took up the challenge, and helped Senerchia co-found the Ice Bucket Challenge that we know today.
Through this simple yet powerful act, millions of people have come together to raise awareness and funds for ALS/MND research, care, and support.
