O.J. Brigance 'blessed' by large turnout for annual Brigance Brigade 5.7K run

A large contingent of runners participated in retired Ravens linebacker O.J. Brigance's annual championship run Saturday in Canton.

Ravens Pro Bowl inside linebacker C.J. Mosley and former Ravens wide receiver Torrey Smith, defensive tackle Tony Siragusa and defensive end Michael McCrary attended the event.

The 5.7-kilometer run and one-mile family run-walk, organized through the Brigance Brigade, benefits research for and support of families dealing with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, a progressive motor neuron disease also known as Lou Gehrig's disease.

The Ravens' senior advisor to player development, Brigance was diagnosed with ALS in 2007.
