My son, Lazer turbo Ruud has been dedicated to BMX racing for the past four years, pouring his heart and soul into the sport. Through countless hours of training and competing, he has become an expert in two bike divisions. His hard work has paid off in an incredible way—he recently qualified to represent Team USA at the world event in Brisbane, Australia. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for him to compete against the best riders from around the globe, and it’s the ultimate honor for our family to see him wear the Team USA colors on such a big stage.

Getting to Australia is no small feat. We are raising funds to help cover the significant travel expenses for him and his support team, as well as the specialized equipment he’ll need to compete at the highest level. Every dollar raised will go directly toward making sure he has everything he needs to give his best performance and make our community proud.

This is a local kid who not only represents Team USA, but also carries the spirit of the Columbia Basin here in Washington state. Your support will help make this dream possible and show that our community stands behind its own. Thank you for believing in him and for helping us bring this dream within reach.
