A fundraiser is being held for Huntington surfer Mike Fisher, a member of the high school surf team recently diagnosed with stage 3 brain cancer.

If you’ve been anywhere around downtown Huntington, you’ve probably seen the fliers for “Save Mike’s Head.”

This Thursday is your chance to give back. From 3 to 9 p.m.,  Mo’s BBQ at 301 Main Street will be donating 10 percent of their proceeds to the Save Mike’s Head fund. Mike and his family will be there around 6 p.m. to meet people.

I met up with Fisher, 17, not too long ago for a story on his fight against the cancer. The surfing community as a whole has really come together for Fisher since he was diagnosed last October.

He decided against doing chemotherapy, opting for alternative medicine that is working really well, but not covered by insurance – meaning the out-of-pocket expense is about $12,000. Needless to say, any help the family can get is appreciated.

He’s really an amazing kid who hasn’t let the cancer get the best of him, staying positive and strong throughout the battle. Read more about it here.
