What. an absolute. hero.

We’ve been dreading being nominated for the last week now, but then Eric O’Donnell comes along and takes his soaking like an absolute champ.

Eric’s father Pat posted the following video to his Facebook page on Friday and, at time of writing, it has almost 330,000 likes.

Eric was nominated by his cousin Evan, the lad tipping the bucket, but it’s no bother to Eric who was determined to do the challenge in aid of people with Motor Neurone Disease.
