The activity involving dumping a bucket of ice water on head, the Ice Bucket Challenge or sometimes known as ALS Ice Bucket Challenge, went viral on the social media throughout the summer. The ALS Association has received a huge amount of money through this challenge.

Pete Frates, creator of the Ice Bucket Challenge, turned 30 on Sunday. This year's birthday would be memorable for Frates as he spent it with family members and with about 70,000 of his closest friends at Gillette Stadium.

Frates, former Boston College baseball player, was diagnosed with degenerative disease ALS two years. He and his friend had started the Ice Bucket Challenge, which has collected over 100 million to combat ALS. He spent his birthday at Gillette and posed for photos with cheerleaders, trio of Lombardi trophies of Patriots and with owner Bob Kraft.

Frates was a former standout baseball player at Boston College. Last summer when he was battling with ALS, he created 'Ice Bucket Challenge' to collect fund and awareness for the disease. During training camp, the Patriots did the ice bucket challenge as a team and owner Robert Kraft decided to do something special for Frates during the season.

Before regular season finale on Sunday against the Buffalo Bills at Gillette Stadium, the Krafts welcomed Frates and wished him birthday. After that they posed for pictures next to the team's three Vince Lombardi trophies.

While talking to 98.5 The Sports Hub prior to Sunday's game, Jonathan Kraft, President of the Patriots, praised Frates. According to Krafts, Frates is an inspiration for all people. Krafts said, "What an amazing young man he is. He is a hero".
