Lady Gaga has nominated Adele from her Instagram for the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge. Unless you are living under a rock, by now you would have heard that this viral sensation is a challenge which raises money for Lou Gehrig’s disease and the numbers are soaring for the charity! And it’s fun! 🙂

Gaga also tweeted out the same request, asking other rich folk to accept her challenge.

According to their website, as of today, Monday, August 18, the ALS Association has received $15.6 million in donations compared to $1.8 million during the same time period last year (July 29 to August 18). These donations have come from existing donors and 307,598 new donors to The Association.
