Ice Bucket Challenge is back

If your social media feed is showing people dumping buckets of ice water over their head, no, you didn’t go back in time. The Ice Bucket Challenge is making a comeback! It has been more than a decade since the viral challenge had us throwing ice water over our heads to raise awareness about ALS. The challenge was a huge success, raising more than $115 million for ALS, and it helped to revolutionize research surrounding the condition. This time around, the Ice Bucket Challenge has us focusing on mental health. A University of South Carolina student-run organization called Mental Illness Needs Discussion has launched the the “Speak Your Mind Ice Bucket Challenge.” Participants are encouraged to donate to Active Minds.
