An official GoFundMe has been launched to assist Black Bart with his battle against Stage Four Liver Cancer at this link.
The GoFundMe Campaign notes, "As many of you have heard Black Bart has stage 4 cancer and we have been doing fund raisers for him. His cancer is not curable but it is manageable according to the doctors. How long he lives with this cancer depends on the fight in him and of course how his body reacts to the treatments. We all know those treatments can be expensive even with insurance and then there’s the extras over and above the medical treatments. Some of his medications are not covered by insurance and other things like gas and food while out getting the treatments etc. Things we don’t normally think about till we are using the money for them. It is a humbling experience to have to ask for help like this and that’s one reason Bart held back and everyone has been so understanding through the whole experience and wanting to help."
Rick Harris, who performed as Black Bart for the WWF, World Class Championship Wrestling, Mid-Atlantic, Mid-South and a multitude of additional promotions and territories announced in March that he had been diagnosed with Stage Four Liver Cancer and would begin chemotherapy. Bart recently pulled out of a scheduled appearance this August at TMart Promotions' The Gathering in Charlotte, NC set for this summer.
