Chris Jericho Makes A donation To Virgil's Fundraiser
As we've noted, former WWE Million Dollar Champion Virgil has been diagnosed with stage 2 colon cancer.
A fundraiser has been set up to help raise money for Virgil's medical bills. As of this writing, more than $8,000 has been raised towards the cause.
Virgil has shared the following note on the fundraiser page:
I have two tests one in March 17th and March 25th. As I have posted, I have had mri and others procedure. I have spent close to $5721 on these the next two comes close to $3400. I would be more than glad to sign, do a cameo video and much more. I receive NO help from WWE who, based on all the chairshots, blows caused this. To those that have helped I am truly thankful and blessed.
So you understand my situation better I get $862 a month social security, a friend allows me to stay for $200 at a place he has. With Food and utilities and doctor visits pretty much puts me in hole. I have had to do few signings to help but been hard. This is Not a Gimmick nor a stunt, this is real and it is hard to have to ask for help.
