In July 2025, Cru was drafted into a battle no teenager should ever have to face. Instead of preparing for football season with his teammates and looking ahead to his senior year of high school, he is now fighting for his life. Cru was diagnosed with osteosarcoma, a rare and aggressive bone cancer, and immediately began intensive treatment to confront this devastating disease.

Cru is a passionate and relentless athlete with a heart as big as his drive. Whether on the field or in life, he gives everything he has — and now, he’s pouring that same strength and determination into this new, unimaginable fight.

But Cru and his family can’t do it alone. Many of the treatments, medications, and resources he needs are not covered by insurance. Your support means the world — every donation goes directly toward giving Cru the best possible chance to overcome this battle.

Thank you for standing with Cru.

Together, with Courage, Resilience and Unity we FIGHT WITH CRU!
