NEW YORK -- Last summer, the ice bucket challenge became an international sensation -- raising money for the fight against ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig's Disease.
While 17 million people took the challenge last summer -- including some bold-faced names -- the cynics tried to throw their own cold water on the idea, calling it a way to make a splash without actually doing anything.
Guess again, smart guy. The challenge raised $115 million dollars in less than two months last summer. During the same period the year before, they raised just $5 million.
