Ianto Gustard is no doubt the youngest person to get in on the latest social media craze, #icebucketchallenge.
 
The challenge, which requires you to pour a bucket of ice over your head and upload it to social media sites, has been raising much needed funds for cancer research.
 
Ianto took part in the challenge to raise money for Macmillan Cancer Support in honour of his mum Jane Elizabeth Eyres who has skin cancer.
 
Talking to the charity, Ianto’s father Shaun, who uploaded the video to their Facebook page, said: “He’s a really sensitive kid and when he went to see [his mother] after surgery he was very upset – it really knocked him for six.  Ianto is naturally very kind and caring, so when he saw me do an ice bucket challenge the day after he’d been to see her, he asked if he could do one too, for his mum. I thought it was a bit mean to put ice in the bucket so we used cold water.”
 
 
Celebrities have also been getting in on the #icebucketchallenge including Mark Zuckerberg and Justin Timberlake.
