Support TJ in His Battle Against Cancer
We are coming together to support our dear friend, brother, and fellow rider, TJ, as he fights the biggest battle of his life. TJ has been diagnosed with a form of mouth cancer affecting his mandibular tori, tongue, and lymph nodes. He is currently undergoing daily radiation and weekly chemotherapy treatments, pushing through with determination, hope, and a brand of grit we have all grown to expect from him.
A proud electrician with 28 years of experience, TJ is also a 20+ year member of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW). On and off the job, he’s always been the kind of guy you can count on—reliable, loyal, and ready to lend a hand. If you know anything about TJ, you likely knew he is a biker before you learned his name. Whether it's on the job or out on the open road, he’s built his life around brotherhood, hard work, and freedom.
If you know TJ, you know that if he’s calling you a name or giving you a hard time, it means he loves you. He’s the kind of guy that who will give you the shirt off his back and call you a jackass while he does it. That’s just who he is - loyal, hilarious, and real to the core.
Alongside him every step of the way is Gracie, his beloved pup and constant companion. He is also in the company of his mom, and a dear family friend who is a Godsend and has uprooted her life to step in and help TJ and his mom out during this rough patch.
TJ is currently fighting to beat cancer without surgery in hopes of possibly regaining his sense of taste and ability to produce saliva. But if radiation and chemotherapy don’t succeed, he’ll face a life-altering surgery that would remove half of his jaw, half of his tongue, and part of his throat—resulting in the loss of speech, taste, saliva, and major impacts on his ability to eat and communicate. Not to mention, that beautiful smile and legendary beard he is known for.
Because of the aggressive treatment, TJ is unable to work. The financial burden of daily medical care, treatment-related travel, and basic living expenses is overwhelming.
This GoFundMe is our way of standing by him—helping cover his medical bills, daily essentials, and allowing him to focus on healing without the stress of financial hardship.
If you’ve ever known TJ—as a union brother, a fellow rider, a friend, or just a good soul—you know he’s always jumped on the chance to help out where he can. Now it’s our turn to show up for him.
Ride Strong. Fight Hard. Live Loud.
