Ice Bucket Challenge: Henrikh Mkhitaryan helps teammate

Armenia national football team and Borussia Dortmund (BVB; Germany) midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan helped Germany U21 international and BVB winger Jonas Hofmann take the Ice Bucket Challenge.

Mkhitaryan helped his teammate by pouring the bucket of ice water on Hofmann.

The objective of the Ice Bucket Challenge, which has gone viral throughout social media and has become very popular among celebrities, is to raise awareness toward amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease.

The challenge dares nominated participants to have a bucket of ice water poured on their head. One common stipulation gives 24 hours from the time they are nominated to complete the dare; otherwise, the participant is asked to donate money to charity.

Several football stars already have participated in this activity.
