Airbike Derby: A Donation for Dudders

Katie "Dudders" received confirmation of her breast cancer diagnosis on Christmas Eve 2019. It came on the heels of her mother's breast cancer treatment earlier that year, and following months of uncertainty at work as her employer was facing some unforeseen setbacks. For Katie, 2019 pretty much sucked.

But, anyone who knows Katie knows she is a fighter. Not only is she not taking this diagnosis lying down. She's handling it in the most Dudders way possible - by sharing her journey (and the multitude of doctor's appointments and chemotherapy treatments) with others through her social media.  You can follow her journey through her Instagram. 

Katie travels in many circles - from her work in the haunt industry, to her work with the Penguins, to sliding into people's DMs to offer social media advice. Anyone who knows Dudders knows that she is not the type of person to ask for help. But, we also know that she would be the first one to come to the aid of a friend when they could really use some support. We also know that her tribe is full of people who care deeply about her and want to help HER, as has been seen with the support and feedback through her Facebook and Instagram updates throughout this journey.

To offer their support to Dudders during her recovery, two unlikely friends have entered the proverbial ring to help raise money for medical bills, supplies, and other things she may need help with.

Professional wrestlers, PB Smooth and Derek Direction, are upping the anty for donations made through this campaign. To show their love and support for Dudders, they'll be putting their physical prowess as wrestlers to work for the cause. For each donation of $10.00, PB and Derek will do 20-second sprint on their air bikes with a 10-second rest LIVE on their respective IG accounts.
