ALS is a nasty disease. ALS is
classified as an “orphan disease”, since fewer than 200,000 people get the
diagnosis annually. The bad news? For those that do, it’s a death sentence –
usually within two to five years.
Which brings us back to the Ice Bucket
Challenge, now sweeping the social media world. The idea is simple: dump a
bucket of cold ice water on your head, and post a video of yourself doing to
Facebook, Twitter, etc. – and tag three (or six, or 300) of your closest
friends to do likewise, or fork over a donation to the ALS charity of their
choice.
Between 29 July and 12 August, the ALS
Association has seen donations quadruple from year-ago levels, hitting $4m.
Over the same period, they have received gifts from 70,000 new donors
Clearly, the shift from more sober
fund-raising approaches – sponsored walks, mailings, and all that – to
something, err … splashier is paying off.
