Overview
- Preston Mahon, 54, requires urgent vascular surgery on both legs to treat blocked arteries, according to the fundraiser.
- Friends say the NHS will not intervene until his condition is considered "dire," following an angioplasty and privately funded stents in Spain.
- A GoFundMe organized by friend Tracy Trigg is targeting about €35,000 (£30,820) to pay for the procedure.
- Louis Tomlinson publicly donated £4,000 to the appeal, and Mahon said he was "so appreciative," noting he thanked Tomlinson directly.
- Coverage indicates the total climbed past £6,600 after Tomlinson’s gift, with one outlet reporting a further anonymous £4,000 that pushed the sum to roughly £10,800 as donations continue.
