Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg has accepted the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge by Governor Chris Christie, as part of a campaign to raise money in the fight against amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and tipped a bucket of ice cold water over his head.

Those who take the ice bucket challenge get to call out three people either to pour ice cold water over their heads within 24 hours or to donate to the ALS foundation (or both).

Zuckerberg chose to challenge his colleague and Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg, Netflix CEO Reed Hastings, and Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates.
