WATCH: Donegal Man Completes The Most Extreme Ice Bucket Challenge Atop NYC Skyscraper

Just when we thought we were getting fed up with the Ice bucket Challenge that has taken over the Internet in recent days, a Donegal man provides us with the most extreme video yet.

In case you were not aware, the idea behind these challenges is to raise awareness for ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis), a progressive neurodegenerative disease, referred to as Motor Neurone Disease (MND) in Ireland.

Celebrities have been taking part in the action; Liam Gallagher topped the poll yesterday by calling out brother Noel, however less well known faces have been participating also.

Atop a Skyscraper construction in New York City, Niall Gillespie from Donegal town pulled off the most epic completion of the challenge yet.

The short video shows Niall and co-worker in their hardhats and building gear preparing to be drenched. After an unsatisfactory amount of cold water is thrown over the pair, they decided it is time to call in the big dogs…

A huge thanks to Niamh Curristin who sent us this one on Facebook – thanks Niamh!
