The latest internet trend is starting to gain some steam online.

And it’s all for a good cause.

Videos of people participating in the “Lemon Face Challenge” are popping up on news feeds everywhere.

According to Mashable, the challenge was created to raise awareness for diffuse intrinsic pontine gliomas, or DIPG.

The challenge works similar to the “Ice Bucket Challenge” that became popular a few years ago.

If you’re interested in participating, all you need to do is eat an entire lemon wedge and share videos of your sour faces online. Along with raising awareness, the challenge is meant to encourage people to donate to the fight against DIPG.

Started by 11-year-old Aubreigh Nicholas, who was diagnosed with DIPG in September, the Lemon Face Challenge has raised more than $40,000 since it was kicked off by Alabama football coach Nick Saban.

Other notable sports teams participating in the challenge include the Los Angeles Dodgers and Arizona Diamondbacks.

The D-backs are now challenging Larry Fitzgerald and the Arizona Cardinals next.

Well, if life gives you lemons, make a new internet challenge.
