Hello, my name is Alexis and I am writing on behalf of my dad. My dad is Valentin, he is 58 years old. He is a huge UFC fan! His top 2 favorite fighters is Khabib and Islam because of the legacy Khabibs father left behind. As a dad himself, Khabibs story always stuck to him. But he says to him every fighter is his favorite because they are warriors for having the courage to step in the cage and give it their all. My dad was a prior UFC fan but after I,

myself got into in 2021, he started watching it again. We watch the fights together on Saturdays when we can and when we are apart, he will call me immediately after a crazy fight! Last year I even threw him a UFC themed birthday party and it was a hit. He will tell anyone that his 58th birthday was the best birthday ever. His birthday party kinda blew up on TikTok and we have enjoyed posting UFC content together since.

My dad has worked hard his whole life. From working in construction, landscaping, forestry, you name it, he’s probably done it. He is also a wild land fire fighter and has been doing it for over 32 years.

Unfortunately this past December we were hit with the news that he has cancer. He has been undergoing chemotherapy for a couple months now. Prior to his diagnosis we had talked about going to see a live event and he has always dreamed of it. However unfortunately with his treatments, he’s been out of work for months now.

But my dad is a fighter, a champ in my eyes and I have faith he will win this fight. This upcoming fight ( May 16th) is only a couple days before his birthday and it would be a dream come true to him to see it live.

We will also be using this gofund me to help cover medical bills.

thank you for listening to my dads story.
