Jeremy “Zuka” Hacker Benefit Jam Edit

ESPN BMX dropped this edit from the Jeremy “Zuka” Hacker benefit jam. It looks like it was an awesome day filled with some real good riding and positive vibes. Plus, they raised a ton of money for Jeremy which is awesome as hell. Check out this video!

This past weekend, I found myself in Arizona at my girlfriend’s parents house. Three hours away, in Phoenix, a jam was being held to raise funds for Jeremy ‘Zuka’ Hacker. Zuka was diagnosed with leukemia several weeks ago, and started chemotherapy treatment recently.

Through Facebook, I was able to find a rider from the town I was in, who had an open spot in his car and was willing to drive with a complete stranger to go and support Zuka. (He had never met Zuka either.) It might sound crazy, but that’s BMX. Zuka is the only rider I know to ride at his own cancer benefit while undergoing chemotherapy, and at the end of the day, around $5000 was raised for his medical bills.

Donations are being accepted for Hacker’s cancer fund through Paypal at 25nine (at) gmail dot com.” – Charlie Crumlish / ESPN BMX
