Story
So far, thousands of people in Scotland have taken part in the Ice Bucket Challenge for MND Scotland. Over £455,000 has been raised to date, and this will make a huge difference to the lives of people in Scotland who are affected by MND.
This has been the most successful ever online fundraising campaign for MND Scotland, and has raised an incredible amount of wider awareness from the general public. We have received numerous donations from the public with messages to say that they had never heard of MND until now but have chosen to donate having learned about it.
MND Scotland has been heavily featured and mentioned across all media channels with the participation of Alex Salmond and Alastair Darling, the donation made by Celtic FC, Rangers FC , the Glasgow Warriors Rugby team, Scottish football teams, and others. We have also been on BBC TV and Radio news.
Many MSPs and MPs have also taken part, promoting MND Scotland, and sharing this on social media.
The real stars have been our supporters though. Hundreds of videos have been made and posted, including 2 year-olds and a 92 year-old. Your involvement has been instrumental made this such a success.
Let’s keep it going!
All you have to do is film it, nominate, share, and donate!
