Next, LeBron James went to Santorini and got dunked in the ALS ice-bucket challenge. Kevin Durant challenged the basketball great, who in turn challenged President Barack Obama and his sons LeBron Jr. and Bryce. This is the second challenge that Obama has received after he was challenged last week by Robert F. Kennedy’s widow, Ethel Kennedy. He graciously declined but made a White House announcement taht an ALS charity donation would be made.

So far $4 million in donations has been granted to the ALS Association between July 29 to August 12 compared with the $1.2 million gathered at the same time last year. ALS contributions are used towards finding a cure for amyoptrophic lateral sclerosis disease, also known as Lou Gehrig’s Disease.
