There’s been no slowdown in the number of people willing to freeze for a good cause: #icebucketchallenge fundraisers using JustGiving have now raised over £4 million or around $6.5 million USD.

Here are the latest stats:

• Over 765,000 individual donations have now been made to #icebucketchallenge pages. That’s 41% up on last week.
• Over £1.2 million, or around $1,9 million USD, has been raised in the last week alone.
• We’ve now had donors from 25% of the member states of the UN to #icebucketchallenge pages (51 individual countries).

This is a truly global challenge

• 247 charities have now received #icebucket challenge donations – that’s nearly 100 more charities than last week.
• And people are getting more generous (as the weather gets colder perhaps?) as the average donation has gone from around £5 to around £6.
• And a whopping 90% of donations to #icebucketchallenge pages have come in via text: wow!
• The Motor Neurone Disease Association campaign page has now raised over £3.9 million (and rising).
