Video: Australian newsreader shuts down the idea of doing an ‘ice bucket challenge’

While we applaud anyone who takes on the challenge for ALS/Motor Neuron Disease, broadcaster Lincoln Humphries makes some good points.

While he does acknowledge the good that the ice bucket challenge has done throughout the world, Humphries – an anchor for Queensland station WIN News – feels that cancer charities, fresh water campaigns, the Red Cross, the Salvation Army and St. Vincent de Paul are being left behind.

This is compelling stuff, even if – like us – you’re happy to see the ice bucket challenges go on for as long as possible.
