My Story

21 Jul 2026

Hello, and thanks for clicking in to view my page! After reading through my story, please know that any donation amount you make does matter!

At the age of 5, my mom and dad were told “Your son has cancer and he’ll need to be taken to Hershey Medical Center immediately.” That day, my kindergarten class was cut short, and as we drove to the hospital without knowledge of what will happen next, our 3 year battle began.

The outreach and love from the community made it possible for my parents to focus on me, rather than the hospital bills and gas expenses. Amazing people, organizations and fundraisers helped us in dark times and made me who I am today.

I now care because you cared.

In 2019, I did what so many amazing people have done before me - I danced for 46 hours in THON to raise money for Hershey hospital and childhood cancer.

Although I won my the battle against cancer, the war is not over.

I ride to fight. I ride for a cure. I ride so kids can be kids.
