Give a family strength and hope to heal their child.

Due to a planned foot surgery, I won't be able to ride in this year's HoldYou Foundation's "Fly for Families Fundraiser!" However, this organization is important to me, so I asked my friend, Noelle Bensussen to ride in my place. She and I both rode last year and had a blast! Please sponsor Noelle's ride this year in HoldYou Foundation's "Fly for Families Fundraiser!" Noelle and I want to raise critical funds for families who are struggling with financial hardship as a result of their child's diagnosis with a life-threatening illness or injury. Last year, HoldYou stepped in to provide immediate support to 46 families who faced work disruption, increased expenses and decreased income while their children received treatment. HoldYou holds families by lifting their financial burdens and ensuring their urgent basic needs are met, so they can focus on what matters most -- holding and healing-- their child. Together, with your help, we can do even more! Please consider donating even a small amount to this local charity! Your small donation could mean enormous relief for a family like Isabella's

Isabella's Story

At just 2 years old, Isabella was diagnosed in September 2016 with Medulloblastoma. She immediately began intensive chemotherapy treatment at Mattel UCLA Children's Hospital for her malignant brain tumor. Isabella is currently hospitalized for minimum of one month as she receives additional chemotherapy treatment prior to undergoing a stem cell transplant.

Little Isabella has endured more struggles and has shown for more courage than most adults do in a lifetime. With two other young children to care for and just one car between them, Isabella's parents do their best to provide her with all the loving support she deserves. But when faced with financial hardship due to loss of income and increased expenses, HoldYou stepped in to provide urgent resources for rent to ensure that Isabella's mother could remain by her side at the hospital and that her father could still visit her on weekends.

When families face extreme financial hardship due to work disruption, increased expenses, and decreased income, HoldYou Foundation provides the financial assistance necessary to relieve the overwhelming stress that parents feel, so they can focus on what truly matters most – holding and healing their child.Together, we can help families like Isabella's.

Please help to "hold a family" like Isabella's by donating to my HoldYou "Fly for Families" ride on June 3rd! Your contribution will have an immediate impact on a family in need--to give them hope and make their burden a little lighter.
