He's raising money to help have it removed.
This is Scot Jacobson. He weighs more than 500 pounds — 70 pounds of which is a basketball-sized tumor.

Before the tumor is removed, Jacobson must undergo gastric bypass surgery, the East Oregonian reports. But before that, he needs to raise $6,000 more. Jacobson, a social worker, already emptied his savings and sold his car in 2007 to afford a failed gastric bypass. Now the father of three adopted children must pull together the money once again.
Despite his condition, Jacobson has a sense of humor about it.
His tumor's name? Wilson.
