American UFC fighter Josiah Harrell announced through social media that he is raising $80,000 for brain surgery. The athlete suffers from a rare Moyamoya disease.
Harrell had to withdraw from his UFC debut fight against Australian Jack Della Maddalena in the summer due to the diagnosis.
I hate asking for help. I know that's the little boy in me from childhood and I'm no longer that scared kid. If you could donate anything helps if you can't give that's okay I understand not everyone has the means but consider sharing so it may get to someone who does. Not a big deal need brain surgery. Thank you to everyone who has helped me along this journey. It will a a great day when I can help you in return.
