Barack Obama has refused to get doused with a bucket of ice water for the ALS Challenge.
Obama will instead take the penalty and donate money to a charity fighting Lou Gehrig’s Disease.
Obama was issued the challenge by Ethel Kennedy, the eldest living member of the Kennedy family, an American political dynasty.
‘The President appreciates Mrs. Kennedy thinking of him for the challenge, though his contribution to this effort will be monetary,’ the White House told the Boston Globe‘s Matt Viser.
