Thousands of people have been freezing themselves half to death and filming it for the entire world to see in order to help raise awareness and funds for the debilitating disease.

Among the people who have been participating in the challenge have been many of the Superstars of the WWE.

Everyone from The Undertaker and his wife Michelle McCool to Edge and Christian, Chris Jericho, Stephanie McMahon and Triple H, and even the big man himself, Vince McMahon have stepped up to the plate.

Now, there is yet another name we can add to the long list of participating WWE Superstars, Goldust.

Goldust posted the video, which you can see below, to his YouTube page on Wednesday. In the video, we watch as his daughter Dakota dumps a bucket full of freezing cold water on her father’s head.

Unlike some of the people who have taken the challenge, Goldust takes the freezing cold like a man. He quickly nominates his daughter, his wife, his son Joshua, and talk show host/comedian Ellen DeGeneres.

For those of you who do now know what ALS truly is, it is a debilitating disease more commonly known as Lou Gehrig’s disease. The actual name for the disease is Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and is “a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and the spinal cord.”

The motor neurons in the body eventually begin to die off which leads to a complete loss of muscle control and eventually death. It is a horrible disease and not something that you would ever want to watch a friend or family member go through.

That is why this challenge is so important, because it brings awareness to a sometimes forgotten disease and has helped incredibly in raising money to continue researching a cure for the crippling disease.
