Former Titans running back Chris Johnson revealed on Monday that he has been fighting ALS for more than a year. After Johnson's interview with Michael Strahan was televised by Good Morning America, Johnson's former team issued a strong statement of support for him.
"Some people leave a mark on an organization that you just can't put into words," Titans owner Amy Adams Strunk said. "Chris Johnson is one of those people for us. His leadership on the field, in addition to his impact in the locker room and Nashville community have written him permanently into the story of this franchise.
"Learning this news is extremely difficult, and we will support Chris every step of the way throughout his journey.
"We are holding him and his family close, and join our fans around the world in expressing our love for Chris."
Johnson went public in order to provide hope for others who are suffering from ALS and their families. One way to support Johnson would be to donate to ALS research efforts.
There are multiple groups that are actively supporting ALS research efforts. We're in the process of identifying the best ones that can be promoted here, for those who would like to donate.
