VAUGHN LEWIS FUND

Vaughn Lewis, son of Paul and Gabrielle Lewis, has been battling cancer since childhood. Vaughn's treatments include exploring new options, which are costly, but he continues to outlast doctors' life expectancy predictions. Please consider helping the Lewis Family with a monetary donation, set up through Traction Ministries, a non-profit organization, with the help of Miki Best of Dita Field Hockey USA and Denise Hadley of Full30Fit Fitness Center, Monument CO, and Traction Ministries. The Lewis family receives all of the funds donated.


In the midst of our athlete community, we are honored to be able to rally around the Lewis family as they navigate an incredibly challenging journey. Their son, not only an athlete, but also a courageous fighter facing cancer, inspires us all with his resilience and spirit.

As a ministry that values the bond between athletes and faith, we extend our heartfelt support to the Lewis family during this difficult time. Together, let's surround them with prayers, encouragement, and the unwavering love that defines our community.

Our commitment to being more than just spectators extends to moments like these. Traction Ministries stands united with the Lewis family, offering strength, solace, and the assurance that they are not alone in their battle. May the road to recovery be paved with the collective love and support of our Traction Ministries family, and all who know the Lewis family.

Any funding that comes through must note in the memo: LEWIS FAMILY.

About Traction Ministries: Welcome to Traction Ministries, where love meets action on and off the track! Our purpose is rooted in the dynamic world of motocross, recognizing the unique blend of adrenaline, passion, and community that defines this sport. At Traction Ministries, we're not just spectators; we're active participants in the journey of athletes who embrace the thrill of dirt bikes and the steadfast love of Jesus.

Our focus extends beyond the track, encompassing prayer support for motocross events. We believe in the power of prayer to uplift and guide riders, creating an atmosphere where faith intersects with the roar of engines. But that's not all – we're dedicated to helping young enthusiasts by fundraising to send them to motocross camps, where the exhilaration of dirt biking is complemented by the teachings of Christ.

Traction Ministries goes beyond the realm of motocross, standing as a pillar of support for athletes across various disciplines. Whether it's on two wheels, four wheels, or any sporting arena, we're here to celebrate victories, share in the challenges, and embody the love of Christ.

Furthermore, our commitment extends to those who have faced setbacks on the track. We come alongside wounded riders and their families, providing not just physical support but also the comforting embrace of a community that cares. Sending get well baskets and offering period-specific prayer support, we aim to be a source of strength during times of recovery.

Join us at Traction Ministries, where the synergy of sports and spirituality creates a space for love in action, forging lasting connections that transcend the boundaries of the track.
