An update is available regarding the GoFundMe campaign launched to bring deceased wrestling fan Marc Izard home.
Izard passed away while attending WWE WrestleMania weekend in Las Vegas earlier this month. Family and friends launched the fundraiser to help cover the costs of bringing him home to the United Kingdom and paying for funeral services.
According to the campaign page, any remaining funds raised will be donated in Marc’s memory to Diabetes UK & Addenbrooke’s Hospital Charitable Trust, and the Make-A-Wish Foundation, charities he supported.
As of this writing, the campaign has raised €16,235, approximately $19,000 USD, toward its €30,000 goal.
Some notable donations listed on the fundraiser include Chris Jericho, who donated €1,100. Gabe Kidd, using his real name Gabe McMenamin, donated €1,000. Natalya Neidhart also donated €258.
The GoFundMe reads:
“Marc traveled the world for wrestling. Now, we just want to bring him home one last time.
Thank you for your kindness, your prayers, and your support.
The Izard family & friends.”
