A fund raising effort for TNA’s Zema Ion has kicked off with the target of $30,000 to help cover his medical expenses after the former TNA X Division champion was diagnosed with appendicitis and a colon tumor.

Ion – real name Michael Paris – unfortunately has no medical insurance and has to foot all the bills. The tumor found on his colon is still yet to be determined if it is cancerous or not but he has to undergo surgery to remove it. If it is diagnosed as cancerous, the road to recovery will be even longer.

You can help by donating here. As of this writing, over $4,000 have been raised with 91 days left.
