Former NFL player Chris Johnson revives the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge after publicly disclosing that he has been diagnosed with ALS, a fatal nervous system disease. Multiple outlets report that Johnson revealed his diagnosis earlier in the week and then brought back the viral awareness effort, which originally spread widely in the summer of 2014. The revived challenge is again aimed at raising ALS awareness through a social media-friendly format in which participants record a video or photo while receiving a bucket of ice water and then challenge others. Coverage also notes that Johnson’s announcement draws responses from other public figures, including Marshawn Lynch. PR Newswire adds that the ALS Association increases its giving in connection with Johnson’s announcement, describing a promotion that triples donations following his diagnosis disclosure. Across the reports, the central focus is that Johnson is using the resurfaced challenge to encourage public support and attention for ALS while he continues to deal with the condition.
