If you were on Facebook in 2014, you might have even participated in it. You\u2019d be tagged by a friend to either drop a bucket of ice water on your head OR donate to the ALS Association (or both). The trend raised awareness of ALS, a neurodegenerative disease that impacts muscle movement. It also raised $115 million for the ALS Association. Now, 8 years later, the FDA has approved a new drug to treat the disease, after money raised through the challenge was used to fund a study of the drug. It\u2019s still not clear how effective the drug is, but ALS patients have been eagerly awaiting its approval.
