The President of the United States, Barack Obama has opted to pay the penalty for not carrying out his #ALSIceBucketChallenge. Obama was challenged by Ethel Kennedy, the eldest living member of the Kennedy
family, an American political dynasty.
When challenged and one doesn’t carry out the challenge in 24 hours, an option to pay atleast $100 to the ALS charity is activated. ‘The President appreciates Mrs. Kennedy thinking of him for the challenge, though his contribution to this effort will be monetary,’ the White House told Boston
Globe.
The #ALSIceBucketChallenge which was started to aid awareness and raise money to treat the Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis,has seen notable public figures partake in the now viral charity cause.
