Ellen DeGeneres to Accept Ice Bucket Challenge & Feature Inspiring Man with ALS on Season Premiere

Ellen DeGeneres will be accepting the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge during the season premiere episode of her talk show and she will even bring an inspiring guest onto the show.

Anthony Carbajal, who is a 26-year-old man living with ALS, put an Ice Bucket Challenge video online that quickly went viral after he showed viewers what his life is like as a patient with the disease.

Not only was Anthony diagnosed with ALS, but his mother is also suffering from the disease and his grandmother passed away after a battle with the disease. In his video, Anthony challenged Ellen to take on an ice bucket and we’re so glad to see she will have him on her show!
