Chris Jericho is lending his support to a GoFundMe campaign that was set up to help a 22-year-old named Austin. He has Cerebral Palsy and needs the money so he could get a wheelchair accessible van.
Jericho recorded this video after his Fozzy concert on Thursday night:

Click here if you would like to donate. So far, $750 out of the $50,000 goal has been raised.
Here is the full campaign description:
“Austin is a 22 year old young man with Cerebal Palsy, but that has not stopped him from having big dreams! Austin participates in his local HRC’s Active Treatment Day Program, The Camp New Hope Respite, and 2 Weeks of Summer Camp, an all inclusive camp for those with disabilities, allowing them the opportunity to learn, grow in friendship, and experience recreational adventures that may otherwise be an impossible experience. Austin loves to be active, but has often been held back by the great hardship transportation has posed for his family. With many doctor’s appointments, activities, and everyday outings that present themselves, it is almost an impossible task to get Austin where he needs to go. We are hoping to fix this problem, and get Austin on the Move with a Braunability, Handicapped accessible, van. Braunability specializes in wheelchair lift vans, eliminating the need for someone to have to physically lift him, and seperately, his wheelchair, into a vehicle, a dangerous, complicated, and time consuming task. Essentially, with the Braunability Van, Austin can be pushed onto the wheelchair lift, placed into the van, and be ready to safety roll. Please join us in the effort to make this a reality, as it is a true necessity for the care of Austin, and will allow him the freedom to live a more independent lifestyle, not always having to rely on multiple people available to place him in a vehicle.”
