Former NFL star Chris Johnson is reviving the Ice Bucket Challenge to raise awareness for ALS, a disease he is currently battling. The challenge, which became popular in 2014, involves people filming themselves getting doused with ice water and then nominating others to do the same, raising significant funds for ALS research. Johnson, inspired by a video from former Utah basketball player Hunter Mecum, announced his diagnosis on “Good Morning America” and urged others to join the cause. He challenged fellow athletes like Marshawn Lynch and former teammates to participate. Johnson, who had a successful NFL career with teams like the Tennessee Titans, hopes to unite people once more in the fight against ALS.
