ALS Ice Bucket Challenge 2015
There was nothing like the first season of Empire. ALS was a major issue and Lucious was very excited to find out that he was misdiagnosed.
It was great to have ALS mentioned on prime time television yet we must remember that people are battling the deadly disease in real life, not Hollywood.

The ALS Ice Bucket Challenge, 2015’s top social media campaign, actually started in 2014. The challenge involved people pouring cold water, many containing ice cubes over their heads and posting the videos to social media.
We learned that Lucious Lyon was diagnosed with ALS in the first season of Empire. ALS, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis is also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease. The condition leads to a loss of muscle control and the cause is unknown.
Everyone from Oprah to Mark Zuckerberg took part in the ice bucket challenge to increase awareness for ALS.
