DONATION INFORMATION

Both myself and Georgian Makropoulos of Wrestlingfigs.com led the last donation drive that raised close to $16,000 for Konnan's Hip Replacement Surgery. And every penny raised went towards that surgery. Both of us are extemely humbled by everyone's help and genorosity with that drive.

We are about to commence a second drive for Konnan. He has incurred thousands upon thousands in medical expenses due to his medical complications. His Kidney Anti-Rejection Drugs. He has developed Diabetes as a result from his complications. Not to mention he cannot work for several more months as a result of this surgery.

I hope we can all get together one more time and do it for this man. Feel confident that $1, $5, $10 is never too small to send. As Konnan has said himself. He had thousands of donations of just $1. $5. Every dollar adds up.

A Paypal account and email address (GetWellKonnan@aol.com) has been setup so everyone can send donations. Every penny donated will go towards Konnan's Kidney Transplant Surgery. If you do not have a Paypal account, setting one up takes 5 minutes. If you prefer to send a donation by mail, an address is listed at the bottom of this article.

Thank you for your time.
