Just when you thought it was safe…


Just when you thought it was safe to go back on social media, the ice bucket challenge has reared its head again.

The hype might have died down in New Zealand a while back but it has only really taken off in the last few weeks around the world.

Everyone from nobodies to celebrities and former presidents are getting in on the act.

Some people might be over the craze, but in the end it’s for charity so it’s important to recognise the efforts.

1. Paul Bissonnette

Paul who Bissonnette is well fairly well known ice hockey player in North America, which qualifies him for the list. But the reason he is here is because his ice challenge is epic. It has to be number one, even if he’s not really a household name in New Zealand. He used ice water from a glacier!
