The Ice Bucket Challenge has been a phenomenal viral success over the last month or so and donations towards a cure for ALS is reaching record numbers. The ALS Association reports having gotten $94.3 million in donations (July 29 to August 27) compared to a mere $2.7 million the same period last year. It should also be noted that the ALSA is far from the only organisation dealing with ALS you can donate to.
