Mark Cuban Makes Major Donation To Jeff Cannonball ALS GoFundMe Campaign
Mark Cuban came through in a big way.
Jeff Cannonball is an independent wrestler based in the New Jersey area. You might also know him from his humorous 'Short Soda Reviews' or his brief run in MLW. Cannonball recently announced some unfortunate news, as he was recently diagnosed with ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis). ALS is more commonly known as 'Lou Gehrig's Disease,' and it is a neurodegenerative disease that leads to eventual paralysis and death.
Cannonball's family, which includes his wife, former indie wrestler Terra Calaway, organized a GoFundMe campaign to help offset the costs of all of the changes in his life. This includes him being unable to work, incoming medical bills, and other adjustments, like needing to find a single-story home that accommodates his needs.
The campaign has gotten a lot of support so far. Former Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban made a huge donation to the campaign on Tuesday night by contributing $10,000. Cuban did not comment on the donation, but he has been active in fighting for better healthcare options and prescription costs through his Cost Plus Drugs company.
The GoFundMe campaign is currently at 84% of its $100,000 funding goal. However, you can continue to share the campaign and make a donation if you are able to here.
There is currently no cure for ALS. People with ALS have a typical lifespan of 3-5 years after diagnosis. However, that timespan can vary and some individuals can live longer.
You can learn more about ALS on the Mayo Clinic website or through the ALS Assocation.
