Former TNA Ring Announcer Jeffery Scott Diagnosed With Stage Four Bowel And Liver Cancer, GoFundMe Opened
Here’s how you can support Jeffery Scott.
PWInsider recently highlighted a GoFundMe page for former TNA ring announcer Jeffery Scott, real name Jeff Kavanaugh. The page reveals that Scott was recently diagnosed with stage four bowel and liver cancer.
Furthermore, Scott has been out of work for months due to illness. The GoFundMe page, which is looking to raise $35K CAD, was made to keep Scott afloat while he battles his diagnosis.
Hi everyone,
I’m reaching out on behalf of Jeff Kavanaugh — though you might know him better as Junk Food Jeff, Jeffrey Scott, or simply Drumboy. Whether you’ve followed his snack adventures, seen him ringside in pro wrestling, or met him at a Funko or Pokémon event, you know he’s always been someone who shows up with energy, passion, and a great sense of humor.Recently, Jeff was diagnosed with stage 4 bowel and liver cancer. It’s a tough diagnosis, and while he’s focused on treatment and healing, it’s come with major challenges.
Jeff had been off work due to illness even before being officially laid off in March. Since then, he’s done what he could to stay afloat — organizing community events like wrestling, comic cons and card shows — but as treatment begins, most of which will take place 200km away in London, working isn’t an option. With no steady income, covering basic expenses like his mortgage, bills, groceries, and care for his three cats has become increasingly difficult.
He had hoped to keep all of this private and manage on his own — but things have started to get hard, and now it’s time to reach out. Jeff isn’t looking for sympathy or unsolicited advice — just a bit of support while he focuses on getting through this.
Thank you for standing with Jeff. He’s always been someone who brings people together — and now it’s our turn to show up for him.
— Carli Little & Team Jeff
