A bit weird that people only see fit to give to charity these days for a bit of attention and shows of self exhibitionism but I suppose if it raises money it's great.

Indeed, as ever, it is a good cause. I suppose it raises awareness, it's not that well known.

 

But does it raise awareness? Excuse my ignorance but what's it even for?

 

I've nothing against people raising money for charity, good on them, but in reality the majority are doing it for a bit of attention on Facebook/Twitter.

I guess its for those poor eskimos who cant afford central heating. 

 

Or maybe survivors of the Titanic?

 

I missed it myself to be honest!

Is it me or are these buckets getting bigger and bigger.

 

And has anyone seen that one where the guy pics the ice bucket up to tip over his mates head, slips and ends up getting it over his own head lol

Well it's a charity that's personal to me. It does need more people knowing about it as it's not well known. I do agree that some people always join in this kind of stuff for attention though.

Seems to be doing the trick! Raised $8 million in a day for the charity ALS (which is better known as Lou Gehrig's Disease)

Kieran Gibbs and The Ox nominate Andre Mariner lol presumably after the sending off incident last season!

It's a shame Duncan Ferguson doesn't just drop a huge block of ice on his head.

Nothing wrong with that at all. Good luck regarding it.

I still think my point stands, but fair play nontheless.
