Team Dakota’s Fight Against Cancer

Dakota Bender is an energetic, sweet, ambitious child who has a passion for motocross and dreams of one day becoming a professional racer. In October 2015, he was involved in an accident that resulted in substantial damage to his brain. He was left with a wide variety of neurological issues for several months.

While still struggling to recover from brain trauma, his doctors discovered a large tumor located in his throat. Initially thought to be a benign result of the accident, the tumor proved to be a malignant cancer. The diagnosis of lymphoma will require several chemotherapy treatments, and Dakota will miss out on school, friends, and his love of riding his bike. Your help will assist his parents with medical costs for his treatments, medication and travel expenses.
