Our 18 year old son has been battling leukemia for almost 2 years. He went through 9 months of weekly chemo. He has been in the maintenance phase and lower monthly dosages for several months now.

Click on the link below to see Ethan hitting a couple of tables.

He won a Loretta regional moto by 14 seconds in June of 2018. He was too sick to attend the National. Soon after he was diagnosed with leukemia.

Today (March 18,2020) marks his return to riding motocross. With all the craziness in the world, it was an awesome day for us!

So happy for him and for your entire family! Doesn’t look like he’s been off the bike for 602 days. Even in a short clip, he looks like he still has plenty of speed!

Is he in complete remission? I hope so and congratulations that he is well. How well he rides is just the icing on the cake. Cool

In remission.

Went through 9 months of weekly chemo. That ended about 9 months ago. Now in a two year maintenance phase, which is once a month and a lower dosage.
