As previously reported, Virgil announced that he has been diagnosed with stage two colon cancer, after previously stating he had dementia. He posted a link to a fundraiser to help with his medical bills.

At this time, over $8,000 has been raised for his healthcare. This includes a donation from Chris Jericho, who contributed $1,500.

Virgil wrote an update on the fundraiser. It reads: “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.
