The ALS Ice Bucket Challenge is back!
The activity involves dumping a bucket of ice water on your head to promote awareness of Lou Gehrig's Disease, and encourage donations for research. The participant must then challenge others to do the same.
The Ice Bucket Challenge went viral on social media during the summer of 2014.
Pete Frates, a former Boston College baseball player, who was diagnosed with ALS in 2012, is the face behind the Ice Bucket Challenge.
Frates and his friend Pat Quinn, who was diagnosed with ALS in 2013, launched the Ice Bucket Challenge campaign in July 2014.
Nancy Frates, Pete's mom, tells WGBH the Ice Bucket Challenge will continue this August, and every August, until there is a cure.
Are you up for the challenge?
