Long-term concern about ALS patients

The full name of ice bucket challenge is “ALS ice bucket challenge competition”, which requires the participants release their ice bucket challenge video. After that, participants can invite others to take part in this activity. The invitee should take the challenge within 24 hours or donate to American ALS association for fighting against ALS.

But in the meanwhile,this activity is questioned and criticized.“This activity is a ‘cheap show’”, some people said,“It not only a waste of water, but also thepersonal use of public supplies. People should pay more attention onthe disease itself.” At the same time,the patients come up with the idea that they need long-term concern rather than the revelry of audiences.
