This Ice Bucket Video Starring a Family With ALS Will Melt Your Heart [Photo+Video]

Here's a reminder of why the ice bucket challenge really matters.

The Ice Bucket Challenge has become a ridiculous viral spectacle. Every day, at least a dozen major celebrities seem to dump ice over their heads and make headlines. It's easy to forget when you watch, like, R-Pattz do this that it's all about raising money for ALS, but that fact is very much worth remembering. Amytrophic lateral sclerosis, commonly known as Lou Gehrig's disease, is a devastating condition that causes nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord to degenerate over time, and can lead to paralysis in its latest stages.
This video starts off hilariously with a dude performing a sexy ice bucket car wash, but then shows how heartbreaking the disease has been for his family.
