You can help Pat at his GoFundMe Link

JACKSBORO, TN (SPECIAL TO WLAF)- To know Patrick Pebley is to love him. He’s our local reporter, pro wrestler, public address voice of the Jacksboro Eagles and Campbell County Cougars, author, and everything in between. For decades (yes seriously – decades), Patrick has been the first to help anyone in need. He’s “Danced with the Stars” to raise money for the Caryville Cares Playground, been a driving force in helping bring back Special Olympics, put on wrestling events, and so much more.

If you’re in need in our community, you know you can always count on Pat to help. Now, he needs our help. You can help Pat at his GoFundMe Link.

Last week, after being ill for several days, Patrick was rushed to the hospital by ambulance and put into the intensive care unit ( ICU). What many thought was a stomach virus turned out to be Ketoacidosis – a serious complication of undiagnosed diabetes. Other complications from this have appeared, too, that will take some serious time for recovery.

While Patrick’s primary employer has been kind enough to pay him through all of this, he is going to have some massive bills that he will need help with. His side gigs (like selling his books) are going to be completely stopped for a while, and there are other costs associated with being sick.

There’s a good chance that Patrick has helped you or someone you know in your life – now it’s our turn to repay the favor.
