One of the greats of recent Minnesota Vikings history has started a fundraiser for a former teammate that is currently battling cancer.

On Monday morning, former Vikings’ linebacker Chad Greenway announced that he had started a GoFundMe for another former Vikings’ linebacker, Nate Triplett. Triplett was diagnosed with cancer a little more than a year ago. According to Greenway, the cancer can’t be removed with surgery but has responded well to other treatments.

. . .an MRI revealed a large mass (Glioma) inside his brain stem. Nate was rushed to North Memorial to remain under supervision while figuring out the next steps.
