D Scott Fritchen is facing a sudden and life-threatening medical emergency. After waking up with unexpected chest pains, he was life flighted to KU Med for major heart surgery. Doctors diagnosed him with aortic dissection, a condition caused by arteriosclerotic cardiovascular disease that results in a tear in the inner layer of the body's main artery. This is a critical situation, and the road ahead will be challenging.

D Scott is well known for his writing and coverage of KSU Sports, and his work has touched many in the community. Now, he needs our help. The medical expenses from emergency surgery, hospital care, and ongoing recovery will be significant and unplanned. Supporting this fundraiser will help ease the financial burden so D Scott can focus on healing and getting back to what he loves.

Please consider donating to support D Scott in his time of need. Every contribution, no matter the size, will make a difference. Your kindness and generosity are deeply appreciated. Thank you for standing with D Scott and showing him the strength of our community.
