Raises a fair bit awareness as well.

As I said above it's been reported that $22M has been donated to ALS charities since this 'craze' began. Would that have happened without a few famous faces getting involved?

Like it or lump it but David Beckham or Charlie Sheen pouring cold water on themselves has probably made a few more people aware thay the charity in question exists and saw them donating a few pounds they otherwise wouldn't have.

You are right the challenge is for ALS, known here as motor neurone disease (which i have). It's been absolutely wonderful for us because MND often flies below the radar. It's rare for us to get so much attention and donations too but very welcome.

Jeezo, who else is gonna cash in on this stupid trend purporting to be for 'Charridee'?

We've already had one of the Beckam's kids do it, which was apperently worthy of an article in the DR

Cynical? Moi?

Have to say that ever since you changed your profile pic to that, erm, person, you seem to have adopted a rather bleak outlook on things! Maybe you need to up your meds?

Some people have decided to do the challenge and donate to other charities but all are worthy causes.

A family friend was recently diagnosed with MND and it's horrible to watch her quickly change

I'd quite happily have Nelson as backup CH for the season tbh. Wouldn't be a starter for me and I'm guessing he wants to be a regular every week for someone.

I agree. He played ok for a guy who has just been told he has no future at Hibs. If Craig hadn't ballsed up the penalty Sunday might have been Nelson's Terry Butcher moment!

That 'erm, person' happens to be the lovely Karen Gillan.

She could have at least wore a white bikini

I've done it too. T'was more like the Niagara Falls than a bucket because my sons pals hid buckets - and buckets- round the side of the house but it was kinda fun and all for charity.
