Peshmergathon: Local group to raise funds for volunteers in need of gear to fight ISIS

While thousands of westerners have joined ISIS, over a hundred Europeans and Americans have enlisted with the Kurdish forces to fight the terrorist group.

They do so voluntarily, without compensation and in many cases without the proper gear or supplies.

KFI radio host Bryan Suits and Tactical Pro Shop in Burbank have teamed up to raise funds to outfit them.

They are calling it a "Peshmerg-a-thon" and if you'd like to help the cause, you can donate at www.peshmergathon.com
