I'm Riding For

Aiden Hutto

If you know anything about Aiden Hutto, he has a great personality and a passion for sports and magic. On December 13, 2020, Aiden was unfortunately diagnosed with a form of brain cancer. “At first the experience was overwhelming, but overtime I realize[d] that there are a lot more people than I thought that have cancer, and there are a lot more people that are way worse than I am,” Aiden said, “So really I almost take this experience as a blessing [because] I am not worse off than I am.” Aiden has learned how to embrace this hardship in a positive way and keep himself strong. Aiden stated that, “If I could tell the whole world something about cancer, I would tell them that this disease doesn’t define who you are." “It is just a temporary thing, an obstacle, but it is not who you are. I am still Aiden, just Aiden with cancer.” “What keeps me optimistic about life right now is that I have more life to live,” Aiden said,

My Story

3 Aug 2023

Hi family and friends,

This September 2023 I will be dedicating all my September rides to fighting kids' cancer!

Why am I doing this? Because cancer is the largest killer of children from disease in the United States - 38 children die of cancer every week. It's awful to think so many young lives are lost to this terrible disease.

Kids should be living life, NOT fighting for it.

To show my support, I am taking on this 30-day challenge to support cancer research and give these kids the brighter futures they deserve. It will be tough, but it's nothing compared to what these brave kids face every day as they battle this disease and fight for their lives.

So today, I'm asking for your support. Please make a donation (any amount counts) through my fundraising page to support my challenge and join me in the fight to save little lives. If you can not make a financial donate, then please get on a bike or take a walk and join me in spirit

You can also register and join my Team (San Juan Mountain Freewheelers and connect with Strava app) – Raise a $1, but ride with me…stationary, mtb, or road bike. Feel free to share this email with others 😊

All funds raised will support Children's Cancer Research Fund to continue their work to develop innovative treatments and find a cure for childhood cancer.

In Advance -- Thank you so much. 💕
