'Fist-Bump Kid' Making Appearance At MIT Student Center

BOSTON (CBS) – The now famous "fist-bump kid" is continuing his quest to bump out cancer.

Liam Fitzgerald, who gained national attention after a video of him fist-bumping Boston Bruins players went viral, will be making a college appearance on Monday.

The eight-year-old Fitzgerald, who has Down Syndrome and has successfully battled leukemia, is participating in the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's competition to become the "Man of the Year."

Every dollar Fitzgerald raises counts as one vote. The two people who raise the most money will be named as the group's Man and Woman of the Year.

On Monday, Fitzgerald is making an appearance inside the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's student center from 11 a.m.-2 p.m.

He will be signing cards, taking pictures and giving out bracelets to visitors who make a donation of $5 or more.

The Man of the Year competition continues until May 21.
