Hi Friends,

Please sponsor my ride in support of HoldYou Foundation's "Fly for Families" Cycling Fundraiser! Help me to reach my goal of $3,000! I'm riding with our HoldYou Team to raise critical funds for families who are facing work disruption, unpaid leaves and income loss to care for their child in medical crisis. HoldYou has provided immediate support to 108 courageous families like Ethan's. Your gift helps families like Ethan's, so they can focus on what matters most--holding and healing their child.

Ethan's Story

"On March 10, 2017, our lives changed forever; we heard the words "Stage 3 Wilms Tumor on his right kidney." My son, Ethan, was 2 1/2 years old at that time and I could not believe this was happening to him. I had been at my job for less than a year and so had my fiance. We were so distraught with the news and didn't know how to move forward. We made the decision that I would stay home with Ethan to care for him on an unpaid leave for 6 months, which turned into 10 months. On June 1, 2017, due to the chemotherapy, his left kidney failed. Ethan began receiving hemodialysis three times per week. Then, on August 28, 2017, he was diagnosed with Congestive Heart Failure and his hemodialysis was increased to four times per week. Countless hospital stays, several surgeries (10 total), co-pays and one income caused financial strain for our family. I am so thankful to HoldYou Foundation for their contribution and the difference it made in our lives." -- Ethan's Mom
