I'm Riding For

Braden Sitte

Last year my youngest cousin was diagnosed with cancer shortly after his 18th birthday and suddenly his plans to play football at UW La Crosse were put on hold to begin treatment. After a battle and countless hours at the gym, and only a year later he reported to practice this fall! I'm so proud of his courage and hard work, love you B!

My Story

4 Sep 2024

This September, I am taking part in the Great Cycle Challenge to fight kids' cancer!

Why? Because right now, cancer is the biggest killer of children from disease in the United States. Over 15,700 children are diagnosed every year, and sadly, 38 children die of cancer every week.

Kids should be living life, not fighting for it.

So I am raising funds through my challenge to help these kids and support Children's Cancer Research Fund to allow them to continue their work to develop lifesaving treatments and find a cure for childhood cancer.

Please support me by making a donation to give these kids the brighter futures they deserve.

Your support will change little lives.

Thank you.

Matthew
