Former NFL receiver Chad Johnson made a sizable donation to help get a Baltimore track team to Kansas City for the USATF National Junior Olympic Championships.
On Tuesday, Twitter user @TariqToure shared a link to a GoFundMe page set up by the Turbo Track Club to help cover its travel expenses.
Huge request.
