Chris Johnson brings back the Ice Bucket Challenge for ALS research

Former NFL running back Chris Johnson went public on Monday with his battle against ALS. He’s now hoping to raise as much money as possible for ALS research.

He’s bringing back the Ice Bucket Challenge, and he’s getting it started by designating three former NFL players to get a bucket of ice water dumped on them: Marshawn Lynch, Pacman Jones, and LenDale White.

You can do that, or you can make a contribution to ALS research. Or both.

Here’s the link to donate in honor of Chris Johnson to the research efforts at Massachusetts General Hospital.

We highly encourage giving whatever you can. Times are tough, but every dollar counts. Who knows which dollar will be the dollar the funds the cure?

There’s a selfish motivation to this particular act of altruism. Any of us could get ALS, at any time. It’s a horrible disease, which robs the body of its abilities without robbing the mind of its faculties.

It can be cured. It should be cured. With enough research, maybe it will be cured.

So click the link and give a little. (Or a lot.) Already, more than $24,000 has been raised in Johnson’s name.
