    Glad to see him fitting in and trying to do good for charity, but I think these little social media 'challenges' are just too stupid.

    Agreed. Those couple of months that the drinking one and the "no make up selfie" and all of those were going around my Facebook almost drove me to delete my account. Super annoying.

    At least the ALS one serves a real purpose in raising awareness and funds for a good cause.
