The unwritten HUKD rule: never abuse charities
Only order the kit if you really are planning to raise money

That should go without saying, surely people wouldnt just order for the sake of it ???? Sad world if thats the case :-(

It's already sad when you know most of the money raised is not going where it's supposed to.

I stopped giving to Macmillan (despite having extremely personal experience of cancer) after this event

It rose money and that's what matters, right? Who cares if they're copying other charities or not?

But following your link also gave me this information
Things you need to know about the ice bucket challenge
It started in May 2014 as the "Cold Water Challenge" for particpants charity of choice.
National Fallen Firefighters Foundation was one of the first charies to take part in the "Cold Water Challenge".
So surely it wasn't any one else's charity to copy?
