At 39 years old, Chris Johnson CJ2K is communicating through a device he controls with his eyes because amyotrophic lateral sclerosis has already taken his voice. Chris Johnson's ALS interview on Good Morning America with Michael Strahan is one of the most powerful things you'll watch this year, and what is ALS is a question more people need to actually understand.
