BOSTON — His favorite team, the Boston Bruins, may be eliminated from the playoffs, but Liam Fitzgerald, aka "Fist Bump Kid," is celebrating today.
He tweeted that he is five years cancer-free.
In 2015, he was named Man of the Year by the Leukemia and Lymphoma society after fundraising nearly $150,000.
Fitzgerald went viral after video captured him fist bumping members of the Bruins several years ago. As the players were leaving the ice at the end of warm-ups, Fitzgerald decided to stick his fist out at the players and got a fist bump from each of them.
Fitzgerald, who has Down Syndrome, was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia at the age of 4.
