Ice Bucket
Challenge
Have
You Heard about the "Ice Bucket Challenge?"Once day, my closed
friends, Kokkuan and Nisakorn were watching a video. They were smiled while
watching the video I wonder what the video was about. They told me the video is about the football
player Mesut Ozil doing Ice Bucket Challenge. I do not know what Ice Bucket
Challenge is. I asked them to explain what Ice Bucket Challenge is.
The
Ice Bucket Challenge, sometimes called the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge is The Ice
Bucket Challenge, sometimes called the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge, is an activity
involving dumping a bucket of ice water on one's head to promote awareness of
the disease amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and encourage donations
to research. It went viral throughout social media during mid 2014. In the
United Kingdom, people also participate in the challenge for the Motor Neuron
Disease Association. The challenge dares nominated participants to be filmed
having a bucket of ice water poured on their heads and challenging others to do
the same. A common stipulation is that nominated people have 24 hours to
comply or forfeit by way of a charitable financial donation. Challenge involves
people getting doused with buckets of ice water on video, posting that
video to social media, then nominating others to do the same, all in an effort
to raise ALS awareness. Those who refuse to take the challenge are asked to
make a donation to the ALS charity of their choice.
All
in all, I agree with this program to help people from the Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. The famous people around the world donate their
money to this activity. In Thailand, Abhisit Vejjajiva donates his money five-
hundred thousand. Right now, I know what is Ice Bucket Challenge. I wait for
someone to nominate me!!
