A movement of hope has swept across the globe in the most successful charity event in history! Waves of kindness and empathy have raised over $106 million for ALS–funds that will make the difference between life & death for thousands of souls suffering in the deadly grip of this debilitating disease.
The overwhelming worldwide support shows the remarkable potential for humanity to unite for a common good. With this massive collective effort, the possibilities of what we can accomplish are endless. It is my fervent hope that this phenomena will inspire us all to work together in a common call to action! WE can truly be the change we wish to see in the world!

God bless, Samantha! What a wonderful initiative. In India, we’re doing the rice bucket challenge. Donating stuff for the ALS.
Lovely to actually see you!

I still love that Epic North Ice Bucket Challenge. Those guys had to be freezing! I also love that so many people embraced this and came together. I look forward to seeing more coming together for other important, but lesser known issues. There are so many things that could be brought to the forefront. And thank you again for ALL of your support through this. I’m terrible at the mushy stuff, but please know how much I appreciate you.

You’re right about this movement being an example of how powerful and wonderful social media can be. How great that you pulled so many clips together here to give us the sense of how big the ice bucket challenge has become.
