Pete Frates, the Driving Force Behind Viral Ice Bucket Challenge Dies at 34

Toronto Blue Jays v Boston Red Sox

We all remember the viral ice bucket challenge in 2014. Sadly, the driving force behind it, Pete Frates, has died at the age of 34. He was a former college baseball player who battled Lou Gehrig's disease and raised more than $200 million with his viral ALS ice bucket challenge.

"A natural born leader and the ultimate teammate, Pete was a role model for all, especially young athletes, who looked up to him for his bravery and unwavering positive spirit in the face of adversity," the family said. "He was a noble fighter who inspired us all to use our talents and strengths in the service of others."
