The latest celebrity to jump on the bandwagon of the Ice Bucket Challenge is none other than Lindsay Lohan. In receiving a request to include the star in his soaked list of celebrities, Jimmy Fallon quickly acted to make the fan's wish happen on Wednesday night in the Tonight Show.

The star took up the challenge thrown by one of the audience members of the show, as announced through a note pulled out from the suggestion box. The organizers then worked to make the request a reality. Within 24 hours, Lohan made her gracious entry in the show.

The star is busy preparing for her upcoming play Speed-the-Plow to be showcased in London from 24th September. She flew from London especially for the stunt, as well as to oblige her fans by indulging in this latest charity fad.

After getting all soaked up with ice cold water, she passed on the challenge to Prince Harry and Jared Leto .She made the entry in black top and shorts along with knee-high black boots to complete her ravishing ensemble.

Lohan definitely showed the sporting side of her personality by accepting the ALS Ice bucket challenge. She is now in league with high profile celebrities, such as Oprah, Justin Bieber, Britney Spears, Justin Timberlake, Mark Zuckerberg, Lady Gaga, Charlie Sheen, Bill Gates and George Bush.

ALS Ice bucket challenge started off as a fund raising activity to aid Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Since its inception on July 29 until the latest report, which came out on August 12, the drive has raised $4 million in donations and still going strong, as shown by its immense social media presence.

The drive is no doubt a huge success as the challenge has exploded beyond expectations and emerged in no time as an online phenomenon. In turn, this has created a new level of awareness towards the illness. The disease affects nerve cells, thereby degenerating the motor neurons in the patient's entire body and eventually leading to death.

"We have never seen anything like this in the history of the disease," shared Barbara Newhouse, the president and CEO of The ALS Association. "We couldn't be more thrilled with the level of compassion, generosity and sense of humour that people are exhibiting as they take part in this impactful viral initiative."
