The New York man who co-founded the viral Ice Bucket Challenge died Sunday after a long battle with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis the disease he tirelessly raised awareness for until he succumbed himself.
Pat Quinn, a 37-year-old from Yonkers, was diagnosed with ALS in 2013 and soon after, created the social media challenge as a way to raise money to find a cure for the illness, also known as Lou Gehrigs disease.
