‘Our Ladder’ launched by Cody Rhodes and Tommaso Ciampa honours the memory of UK pro wrestler Kris Travis.
WWE Superstars Cody Rhodes and Tommaso Ciampa have partnered up to launch ‘Our Ladder’, a new charity campaign set up where 100% of profits from sales of merchandise such as t-shirts will be donated to Cavendish Cancer Care, a charity supported by late UK pro wrestler Kris Travis.
Kris Travis passed away last month following a long battle with stomach cancer, but worked closely with Cavendish to raise money for people fighting cancer. Initially, Kris beat the disease and even sensationally returned to the ring after speaking with TWM News about his illness, however shortly after, he was forced to retire.
Kris’ illness returned and unfortunately was diagnosed as being terminal. He passed away on March 31.
Cody Rhodes took to twitter to release initial details of the campaign, stating:
“Our Ladder” by @lordmesa. Charity and campaign details still to come… Y’all like it? I dig it.
“The campaign for the “Our Ladder” t-shirts should be launching in the next week, however I did want to inform fans that to honor late Pro-Wrestling star Kris Travis, the charity receiving 100% of the profits will be CAVENDISH CANCER CARE.
“Full disclosure, I never had the privilege to meet Kris. I know in pro-wrestling gaining the respect of your peers is invaluable and does not come easy. When asked about him, a trusted peer of mine said he was a “good man”. With the industry muddled in social media-negativity and selfishness we could certainly use more individuals like Kris.
“With @ProjectCiampa‘s help, I am really looking forward to launching this campaign.”
We will endeavour to bring you more news regarding ‘Our Ladder’ in the near future.
