COLLEGE STATION, Texas (KBTX) - Former Texas A&M football player Chris Larkin helped bring hundreds of Aggies together in the fight against ALS.

Larkin was diagnosed with ALS in 2022. He and his wife, Cissy, founded Aggieland Against ALS, and on Saturday, their organization held a fundraiser 5k/walk and an ice-bucket challenge.

Over 500 Aggies participated, which set a new record for the largest campus-wide ice bucket challenge. They also raised around $250,000.
