HOUSTON (KTRK) -- Houston Mayor Annise Parker took the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge this weekend. She then called out Jadeveon Clowney of the Texans, Bo Porter of the Astros and Scott McClelland from HEB.
The ice bucket Ice Bucket Challenge was created by a former college baseball standout who is now battling ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig's disease.
The challenge is to post a video of you dumping ice water on your head. If you dump the chilly water, you can then challenge someone else to post a video. If they don't accept the video within 24 hours, they are supposed to donate to the ALS Association.
As of Saturday, the ALS Association had received $11.4 million in donations. That compares to just $1.7 million in the same time period last year.
