Support Alex's Fight for Recovery

Help Support Alex’s Recovery

Alex Hermanson, a sophomore at Western Washington University, was in a tragic mountain bike accident. If you know Alex, you know how much he loves mountain biking. When he is not in class, he is out riding, maintaining trails, filming, or working on bikes. The plan for this year was to race as much as possible with his twin brother Matt as a part of their Project Motion Team. Last week, he traveled to North Carolina with Matt to compete in the Monster Energy Downhill Series. On April 5, during a practice run, he was in a serious crash that left him in critical condition with several shattered vertebrae. He is currently in the ICU and has endured two major surgeries. Matt has been by his side from the start, and his parents, Mike and Lori, flew to North Carolina the day of the accident to be there as well.

This unexpected accident has not only shaken us emotionally, but it has also brought an overwhelming financial burden to Alex’s family. Between emergency medical care, surgeries, an eventual air ambulance transport to Spokane, and extended hospital stays/inpatient rehab, the expenses will quickly pile up.

Alex is one of the kindest, most adventurous, and strongest people we know. Whether it’s helping a friend in need or lighting up a room with laughter, Alex is always the first to show up with love and support. Now it’s our turn to show up for Alex.

We’re asking for any donation—big or small—to help ease the financial strain on the family so they can focus entirely on being there for Alex. All donations will go directly toward covering the extensive medical bills.

If you’re unable to donate, please consider sharing this campaign and please keep Alex and the Hermanson family in your thoughts and prayers.

Thank you for your love and support.
