Johnnie Sapong hits crowdfunding target

The crowdfunder campaign to support beloved session stylist Johnnie Sapong’s recovery from a brain tumour has smashed its $300,000 (UK£235,000) target.

The British stylist, who is now based in the US, was rushed to hospital after complaining of a severe headache and vision loss, where the tumour was discovered. Following successful surgery, his son started a Go Fund Me campaign to help not only cover the mounting medical bills, but also help support Johnnie’s family as they aid his recovery while he is unable to work.

Adored by peers and celebrity clients alike, donations ooded in from the likes of Daniel Craig ($10,000), Bryan Adams ($10,000) and Joe Jonas ($15,000). If you would like to donate, visit gofundme.com/f/my-dad-nearly-died
