I’m sure you’ve all seen your Facebook friends posting videos of themselves pouring freezing cold water on their heads for ALS. Oh, you haven’t? Have you been living under a rock? The premise is to pour a bucket of ice water on your head and then nominate a few friends to do the challenge as well. According to the ALS Association, if you’re nominated you must donate a minimum of $10 to the charity, but if you fail to complete the challenge in 24 hours you have to donate a minimum of $100 to the charity. According to the website, they have already raised $4 million in the fight against ALS (Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis), or Lou Gehrig’s Disease.
I think it’s kind of fun just watching people pour water on themselves, but karma caught up with me. Last night I was nominated by my friend Caitie, so that will be a fun part of my day. But even celebrities are getting in the mix, which is awesome because we all know they have plenty of money to donate. I saw this video on Facebook today of Guardians of the Galaxy star Chris Pratt doing the challenge for the second time and it was the best part of my morning.

And to add to the awesome, here’s the video of Robert Downey Jr. doing the challenge and making my heart melt.
