While I'm completely behind the challenge itself, whether someone's motive behind making a video is to raise money and awareness, you are literally a prime example of the challenge raising some awareness.
Were you aware of what ALS was before the challenge popped up online? No. Are you now aware what ALS is? Yes.
Hence you are now aware.
However one could argue, there are different and possibly more effective ways to raise awareness, and by result money than doing the "Ice Bucket Challenge."
