Crowdfunding Campaign Set Up For Matt Cappotelli’s Battle With Cancer
– The family of Matt Cappotelli has set up a crowdfunding campaign to raise money for treatment options in his fight against cancer. The former Tough Enough winner’s family set up the campaign via GoFundMe, which is raising money as the family seeks out treatment options for his GlioBlastoma Multiforme.
The campaign reads:
“Matt Cappotelli is a 37 year old former WWE wrestler and Tough Enough 3 Champion, who is battling brain cancer for the second time in his young life. Back in 2006 he was diagnosed with a grade 2 glioma which ended his wrestling career. Most of the tumor was successfully removed in 2007. He was then treated with radiation and two years of chemotherapy.
Unfortunately, just last month, after nearly 10 years of being in remission, his brain tumor returned in a much more aggressive form. In June of 2017 it was discovered that Matt’s brain tumor has returned as a grade IV GlioBlastoma Multiforme (GBM), which is the most aggressive and deadliest form of brain cancer.
He and his family are currently seeking out treatment options to help conquer the biggest battle of his life. Their strong faith in God has not wavered and has inspired thousands of people!
This GoFundMe has been created to assist the Cappotelli’s in that battle. Let’s go #TEAMCAPP!”
As of now, the campaign has raised $31,592 of the $500,000 being sought. You can see the campaign page and donate here.
