Francine, the one behind the "Legends of the Arena" event held this past weekend at "The Arena" in South Philly, issued the following press release:
I really enjoyed meeting all of you. God Bless those who shared their cancer stories with me. It is a horrible disease and I pray every day that they find some kind of a cure. You are all in my prayers.
I have to thank all the boys for participating. You were all amazing and without your help, there wouldn’t of been a show. I love you guys! Thanks for making this a success!
Now, for those who are curious, this show cost way more then I ever expected. This was the first time I have ever done something like this, so I had no idea just how much things were going to cost. The main reason was to raise money for cancer research. Some of the boys did come in for free, but asked for trans. A lot of them either wanted their full pay or came in for a bit less. Some did it for half their price.
After all of the expenses, I am able to donate $6400 to cancer research. As I said in the ring the night of the show "If this money helps one person, then everything I’ve done for the last 5 months will be worth it".
So once again, thank you all for being a part of it and making it a success. Much love always.
