About MND Scotland
The ice bucket challenge grew organically to raise a phenomenal $220m globally with 28 million videos uploaded in 159 countries.
£500,000 was raised for MND Scotland, which has been used to fund research and support people in Scotland living with MND. We can’t thank you enough if you took on the challenge and donated to MND Scotland. Click here to read more from our 2014 campaign.
This year we will share throwback content of ice bucket challenges from 10 years ago, and also share stories about how the money you raised has been spent. 10 years on, people with motor neuron disease still need your help to fund ground-breaking research into effective treatments and a cure for this brutal disease.
This year we will support a range of activities to remember the ice bucket challenge and raise vital funds. To get involved, please get in touch with our fundraising team, or click the register button below. You can also donate at anytime via our website or Just Giving.
Meet Greg Proctor, a man on a mission to make a difference. In memory of his dad, who lost his battle with motor neuron disease (MND), Greg has embarked on an extraordinary journey.
Every single day in 2024, Greg is bravely taking on the Ice Bucket Challenge, to raise funds for MND Scotland.
This challenge not only commemorates his father’s memory but also marks the 10-year anniversary of the Ice Bucket Challenge going viral.
Show Greg some support by following his journey on social media or donating to his Just Giving page.
Throughout May our amazing fundraisers raised over £19k during “A Dip a Day in May”, taking on daily cold water challenges. The fundraiser doesn’t end there and you can still support MND Scotland with your own cold water challenge. Whether you prefer an ice bucket challenge, a brisk cold shower or a refreshing dip in chilly waters, every plunge counts towards raising funds for MND Scotland. Take on the challenge and donate to MND Scotland.
The International Alliance of ALS/MND Associations has compiled a video of organisations from all over the world taking part and supporting the challenge to capture and highlight the positive impact being involved had – and continues to have – on people affected by MND.
MND Scotland’s CEO, Rachel Maitland and Director of Research, Dr Jane Haley MBE, bravely took on the challenge in our capital city. Special thanks to Flexitricity for allowing us to film at their office and giving us such a beautiful backdrop for our segment.
