Save Mike’s Head
Mike Fisher first thought he had the flu, but after a seizure and some tests, a golf-ball sized tumor was found in Mike’s frontal lobe. Although the tumor was immediately removed via surgery, additional treatment was required. Mike, a sponsored longboarder and active member of the Huntington Beach High School surf team, was diagnosed with a stage-three brain tumor.
The community immediately got involved: Teachers offered extra credit for students going to Mike’s fundraiser; fellow classmates and friends made stickers that say, “Save Mike’s Head;” the Mark McGuire Foundation for Children made a donation; and there was a large rally at Huntington Beach High School. “Mike has a huge heart, is the greatest kid, and is a wonderful person,” said his mother, Nancy. “All of the local surfers, including the older guys, were there. Even his middle school teachers were involved. It’s so encouraging.”
Mike is responding quite well to treatment and is scheduled to return home to Cali today! His expenses are up to $120,000.00 now. Through the community and friends, they’ve already raised $66,000.00. Those interested in helping Mike continue his path to wellness are welcome to call 714.969.8981.
With the help of the Huntington Beach community, Mike is staying positive and hopeful. The site below is also a great place to get the whole story, as well as updates, on Mike’s condition. Encouraging messages can be left, and he checks them often. www.caringbridge.org/visit/mikeefisher GodSpeed Mike!
