Canadian Comedy Legend Mike MacDonald

For three decades Mike MacDonald has supported himself by making people laugh, but now he needs their support to live.

The 57-year-old stand-up comedian from Ottawa is fighting to survive after hepatitis C shut down his liver and kidneys last month.

Needing a liver transplant and unable to work, MacDonald's friends launched an online campaign to raise $10,000 for his living and medical expenses. The site went up Sunday and received more than $21,679; it's now aiming to reach $30,000.

Please visit this site to learn more about his health situation as well as to read a letter from Mike.

PLEASE donate a few dollars if you are able.
