By now, most of us are aware of the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge that has taken the web
by storm. Those challenged are expected to dump a bucket of ice water
on their head within twenty-four hours of being challenged or donate
$100 to the ALS Association—or both.ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis), also known as Lou Gehrig’s Disease is a progressively degenerating disease. Those diagnosed with ALS continue to lose basic muscle functions over time, such as the ability to eat
,
speak, and even breathe on their own. The Ice Bucket Challenge was
created to raise awareness and funding for those going through this
difficult experience.Despite what critics say against the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge, this challenge has increased awareness at an incredibly powerful rate, not to mention donations. As of September 8, the ALS Association had received over $110 million in Ice Bucket Challenge donations (alsa.org).
To prove that this challenge has gone viral, all anyone needs to do is go online
to see the plethora of Ice Bucket Challenge videos, including several
from famous celebrities. From George W. Bush to Mark Zuckerberg, this
challenge has reached the masses. We decided to make a video list of
musicians who have accepted the Ice Bucket Challenge. Enjoy ten of the
best Musician ALS Ice Bucket Challenges below.Eddie Vedder of Pearl Jam
Perhaps one of the slowest ice bucket pours you will see. Vedder does his challenge in honor of Steve Gleason, nominating Tim Robbins, Bruce Springsteen, and his daughters’ pick, Niall Horn from One Direction.
