Years ago, there was an ice bucket challenge that went viral in social media spreading people to participate in. Well, here's the news of the man behind this:
The man behind the massively successful ALS Ice Bucket Challenge is facing major financial hurdles in his own fight against ALS.
Pete Frates lies on life support in the bedroom of his house with his care costing somewhere between $85,000 and $95,000 every month, his family says.
The family told CNN affiliate WBZ they are overwhelmed.
"Any family would be broke because of this," Frates' father, John, told the affiliate.
