ALS ICE BUCKET CHALLENGE CRAZE HITS THE TENNIS WORLD BY RICKY DIMON

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. ALS. Lou Gehrig’s disease. You’ve probably heard the name–or at least one of them–before. Now you are probably inspired to join the fight against it, and likely already have. That’s because the ALS ice-bucket challenge has been sweeping the nation through social media over the past three weeks. As of Thursday night, more than $40 million had been raised since July 29.

 

For anyone who has been living under a rock this month, here’s how it works: you get challenged by someone who has already completed the challenge. Then you have 24 hours to either get a bucket of ice water dumped on your head or donate $100 to the ALS foundation…or–even better–both!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Among those jumping on board to raise awareness and–in many cases–donate to the fund are professional athletes. Tennis players are no exception.

The list includes Novak Djokovic, Juan Martin Del Potro, Milos Raonic, Grigor Dimitrov, Caroline Wozniacki, Victoria Azarenka, Ana Ivanovic, Sloane Stephens, and many more. Roger Federer has gotten involved, although so far just as a dumper. Following one of his victories en route to the Cincinnati title, Federer helped douse ESPN analyst Brad Gilbert on the court after Gilbert got challenged on the stadium video screen by colleague Chris Fowler.

 

Everyone–not just tennis players–should accept the challenge and also donate to the ALS foundation, which you can do here: http://www.alsa.org/donate/

 

Here are just a few of the players who have been soaked with ice water–and links to their videos:
