A GoFundMe page has been set up for John Cepek, an LGBT ally (through the group PFLAG, formerly known as Parents, Families and Friends of Lesbians and Gays) who suffered a brain injury Feb. 27 while traveling in Croatia with his wife Char, according to a University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC) item.
John, who retired in 2004 after 32 years at UIC, is a board member of the university’s annuitants group.
Also on Feb. 27, in a separate incident, Char broke her wrist.
