Watch Now: Baptist Health Brickell Run Club ALS Ice Bucket Challenge

A serious cool-down took place on Brickell Avenue after a weekly workout, and all for a great cause.
Hundreds of members of the Baptist Health Brickell Run Club took the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge to the next level by dousing themselves after their three-and-a-half mile run through the streets of Downtown Miami.
More than half a million people have participated in the challenge by being soaked with ice water or making a donation to the ALS Association. The challenge has gone viral on social media, with celebrities, athletes and everyday people joining in.
The goal: To raise awareness of a neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord, which eventually leads to paralysis and death. Currently, there is no cure for ALS.
