Madison Weil is a multimedia journalist for ABC 10News.

It’s been ten years since the viral ALS 'Ice Bucket Challenge' — a global social media effort to raise funds and awareness about the disease by dumping a bucket of ice cold water on your head and sharing it with your followers. ABC 10News sat down with several members of ALS San Diego who are working to bring back the trend on its 10th anniverary. 'When you get this diagnosis, your head kind of spins…it's always terminal,” said Jackson Strong.

Wiegand says they're hoping to recreate that viral moment in history 10 years later — along with its results. The ice bucket challenge was started by three young men living with ALS and inspired 17 million people across 159 countries to participate. It raised more than 200 million dollars globally for ALS research and care. While the disease still has no cure, since then, the FDA has approved two additional treatment options for ALS: Radicava in 2017 and Qalsody in 2023.
