RICHMOND, Va. — Obviously everyone is taking the Ice Bucket Challenge to help raise awareness and funding for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or ALS.

The ALS Association said Monday that it has received $15.6 million in donations since July 29. That’s up from $1.8 million raised during the same time period last year, but people are starting to get a little tired of seeing their Facebook feed flooded with people pouring water on their heads.

CBS 6 may be partial, but we definitely chuckled when we found out our Chief Photographer Brad Wilson had taken the challenge.

Check out his tongue-in-cheek take on the challenge (the action really starts at .47)

And now go vote to see which six CBS 6 staffers will take the #IceBucketChallenge on air.
