BOSTON: Dozens of people, including the Massachusetts governor and several sports stars, dumped cold water on themselves at Fenway Park Thursday to mark the 10th anniversary of the ALS ice bucket challenge.
The event is part of an effort to renew interest in the viral social media campaign that has raised money to find a cure for Lou Gehrig’s disease. Organisers said the campaign has raised US$250mil (RM1.14bil) thus far and led to an additional US$1bil (RM4.5bil) in research funding.
