Ryan Trahan Fans Unite for St. Jude

Hello, my name is Samuel Settie. I’m a college student from Pittsburgh, PA. I am a big fan of the YouTuber Ryan Trahan, who is currently attempting a challenge where he and his wife Haley are visiting all 50 states in just 50 days. More importantly, they are doing so to help raise money for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital — an incredible organization that ensures families never receive a bill for treatment, travel, housing, or food.

Ryan has a group on a fitness app called Strava, called the “Ryan Trahan Fan Club.” Members of the group recently came together with an idea: what if we raised money as a community and made one big group donation to support the cause? That’s what this GoFundMe is for. We’re trying to raise $5,000 by getting 500 people to each donate just $10. You can donate more, or less; anything helps.

To bring this idea to fruition, Jaonna Hardy created a subgroup on Strava called “50 State Fundraiser RYAN TRAHAN.” We are using this group to spread the word about our goal. It’s a simple idea, but one that can make a big difference when we all contribute. Every dollar raised will be donated directly to St. Jude on behalf of the Strava group as one big “thank you” from the fans.

We’ll post updates along the way — including donation totals and proof of the final contribution — so you can follow along and know exactly where your money is going. If you’re part of the fan club, or just someone who believes in doing good with others, please consider chipping in.

You don’t necessarily need to be a part of the Strava group we have created; we are just using that to spread the word, stay in contact with each other, and keep track of everyone involved! Even if we don’t reach our set goal of $5,000, we will still donate the amount we raised.
