Robert Plant has taken the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge to help raise awareness and funds for ALS research.
The Led Zeppelin singer had two ice buckets poured over his head while passing the challenge on to Paul McCartney, Tom Jones, Elton John and Peter Gabriel.
The ALS Association is the only national non-profit organization fighting Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) – known as Lou Gehrig’s Disease – on every front. By leading the way in global research, providing assistance for people with ALS through a nationwide network of chapters, coordinating multidisciplinary care through Certified Treatment Centers of Excellence, and fostering government partnerships, The Association builds hope and enhances quality of life while aggressively searching for new treatments and a cure.
