Motor Neurone Disease charities get massive Ice Bucket boost

In the USA it has raised nearly 61 million euros, and in the UK more than 2.5 million, and the craze shows no signs of slowing down.

Some have carped it is a waste of water, while Palestinians have launched their own "rubble bucket" challenge to highlight the plight of Gaza.

It has also proved a windfall for retailers, with ice cube sales in the UK up 20%. Some stores are making big donations of their own.
