Winnipeg man’s GoFundMe page hopes to raise money to shed excess skin
WINNIPEG — A Winnipeg man has set up a GoFundMe page with his sights set on raising $20,000 to help him get surgery to remove the excess skin left after he lost more than 200 pounds in less than two years.
Chris Gair tells CTV Winnipeg that back in 2013 when he weighed 412 pounds, his doctor told him he needed to lose a lot or he’d be dead by the age of 36.
Gair says despite his depression over his situation, he started going to a local gym and began an intense regimen of working out.
Now he weighs just 202 pounds, but it’s left him with a torso full of unsightly excess skin.
