The NFL champion and the caregiver: Chanda and OJ Brigance fight onward

A new book by Chanda Minor-Brigance, the wife of Super Bowl winner OJ Brigance, celebrates the importance of the caregiver

Seven years after OJ Brigance played on the Baltimore Ravens' Super Bowl-winning team during the 2000 season, he was diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also known as Lou Gehrig's disease. Knowing that the disease would take his mobility, he and his wife, Chanda Minor-Brigance, had to figure out how to adjust to a new normal.

When OJ was first diagnosed, we knew nothing about ALS," Minor-Brigance said. How you prepare for something like that - a life-changing thing - I don't know. But we were not prepared."
