I Ride For Life - Alayna Hutchings

09/02/2026

We just got the results back from Alayna’s doctor in Texas from her most recent scan. Her brain tumor has grown quite a bit, which is the most growth that we have seen as of yet. They are doing an emergency oncology referral to discuss options or a plan. Even through everything she is facing, she never quits, never quits on the people and other others like her.
Alayna has been so busy lately trying to bring so many different things to New Mexico and as they come up, you guys will be the first to hear about it! ❤️

🎉 ATTENTION — IT’S GIVEAWAY TIME! 🎉

Alayna Hutchings and our team with I Ride for Life are giving away a $300 grocery shopping spree! 🛒❤️

The purpose of this giveaway is to give back to the people in our community and show our thanks for all of your support.

This is intended to help a family with kids, a college student, or a senior who could use a little extra help.

Here at I Ride for Life, we do more than give out toys, help with vehicles, and provide track chairs for kids who are paralyzed. We do more than send kids with life-changing illnesses on trips of a lifetime.

We are about kids battling life-changing illnesses and making memories with their families — because that memory might be the last. ❤️

We have partnered with many incredible organizations, such as Warrior Family Outdoors, Fearless Outdoorsman, Erin’s Hope Project, and many others.

Here at I Ride for Life, we try to make a difference for kids who are battling life-changing illnesses. We are also building new programs for kids with life-changing illnesses, while continuing to build more programs for kids in general.

This is not about having the saddest story. We simply want to have enough information to make the best decision possible and truly give back to someone in need who could use a little help right now. ❤️

Please take a minute to thank all of the incredible sponsors below who have helped me and supported me so that I can give back to all of you.

These sponsors truly care about our community, our people, and the kids who are battling every day. ❤️

The other day I got pleasure of taking some pizzas to my local firefighters! They work hard and save lives everyday. It is such an honor to be standing by them and to be able to take them food. Thank you Portales Fire Department for your dedication to the community and your hard work!!! ❤️

To all of my fans in Helena MT, and to everyone that has been reaching out to me, asking if I will be attending the Helena rodeo, The Last Chance Stampede this year. And I am deeply saddened that I will not be seeing a lot of familiar faces this year, there was a confusion that we are in the process of getting it resolved, but it sounds like possibly next year, fingers crossed, I should be there and seeing all of the wonderful people of Helena. But in the meantime, I Ride For Life has been working extremely hard and working for a local Helena girl that is 10 years old, battling cancer, so we have partnered up with The Helena Last Chance Stampede and Karen English, Realtor - Next Move Montana to make dreams for her come true. We are covering everything for her and her entire family to have the best rodeo experience. We are covering 12 rodeo tickets and for food for them all to eat while at the rodeo. And getting things squared away for her to feel important and a part of the community at the parade. That is what rodeo is about and that’s what American people are about, about helping each other and being there when the times are tough, especially when it seems like there’s no light at the end. We are not just a country. We are not just a speck in this world. We are Americans and we are cowboys, cowgirls, soldiers and warriors that carry the gold ribbon. So on Friday night when you’re enjoying that rodeo, let this 10 Year-Old Girl know you hear her and you’re praying for her. Even though I will not be attending you’ll have a special lady in the arena shining so bright wearing a crown 👑 representing Helena MT the Miss Last Chance Stampede Rodeo Queen Katy Ramsey. She is not just a Rodeo Queen she is just not a friend, she’s a sister and a great part of I Ride For Life and representing kids like me with life-changing illnesses and delivering toys to kids in hospitals and helping making kids dreams, come true. For some kids, it might be their last so we do everything we can to make it a great one. One they will never forget. And when you see that Queen, Katy Ramsey Miss Last Chance Stampede make sure she can hear you because it’s not just her representing Helena rodeo, but it’s also her birthday weekend! Wish her a happy birthday from me and you! Thank you for reading! ❤️

This one hits a little bit different. Alecee is my brother’s best friends cousin, though they are so close they are more like sisters! ❤️ They barrel race together and spend as much time together as possible. I Ride For Life reached out to them to see what we can do to take even just a little bit of stress off them. They told us about how Mc Dean is the light of her right now and the only time they truly see her smile is when she is with her horse. How they 1000% know, for a fact, that Mc Dean is what is pushing her through right now.
One of their worries right now is when she goes to Salt Lake City UT for long term treatment, she won’t be able to sit with Mc Dean, won’t be able to talk to him and express her fears and worries. Won’t be able to just have a moment to rebuild her resolve.
We have secured boarding for Mc Dean in Salt Lake City UT, they have a trailer. Now they need a truck to haul said trailer WITH Mc Dean. They have some money saved up, but if we can blast past the cost of the truck we can give them a little less stress. So while it is only for a certain amount, we can donate WELL past that for this amazing family that is doing everything for Alecee to give her as much time as possibly with her “sister” aka cousin, Mc Dean and the rest of her family. I just know the I Ride For Life community can make this little girls dream. ❤️

Coming soon 😉
This will be my third album and this album has the most songs that I have done so far. Everything that I write is about a part of my life. It’s about being in the hospital. It’s about being in the arena. It’s about the battles we face every day and the things that inspire you to keep going. Music is not just words, it is a past it is a memory. It is a feeling.

One of these songs I wrote, Storm and the Beast, is dedicated to Heaven’s 27. The Camp Mystic tragedy in Hunt TX July 4, 2025.

I write music because it is a way for me to express myself the hate, the anger, the love, the sad and most of all the happy.

I also write music, hoping it will help others like me to help other people with other illnesses that today you can tomorrow nobody knows.

Some people ask, how can a 10 year-old write music and all I ever tell them is you have to believe, if you believe, there’s nothing that is impossible. I am not the only 10 year-old in the world that has wrote music and has been on stage. LeAnn Rimes was 13 when she released her first album she was singing and playing music before then. if you research there was kids as young as eight writing music and performing on stage. Taylor Swift was 12 years old when she released her first album but again she was writing and singing well before that

I don’t write music to be like them I don’t write music to be famous. People that have a life-changing illness understand. And even people that don’t have life-changing illnesses, but have a worry of tomorrow or the future. For me it is those nights and there’s many of them not knowing if tomorrow If Im going to see the sunrise or am I going to see the sunset. Or it’s me thinking about the others laying in a hospital bed right now battling something no one could understand and them worrying if they’re get to see tomorrows sunrise or sunset. Or wondering if another kid is scared not knowing what it’s like to feel the breeze on their face while sitting on a horse and riding. Or is it me angry because there’s people in this world that don’t understand what we all go through and understand and tell us we’re not good enough because of an illness.

Life should not be the reflection that’s staring at you in the mirror, but the strength and the will to make a difference, in others.

I couldn’t have done this alone, If it wasn’t for my incredible recording agent Kyle Nay that puts all of my music together and cleans and polishes it up and he is the duet singer in my song Why is Everybody Fighting and a couple others. The sleepless nights he has on working hard and believing in me I just wanna say thank you

I also want to thank Danny Feller he’s the duet singer in Country Strong with me and Take Me Home as well as other songs. Danny Feller has played at the Grand Ole’ Opry in Nashville Tennessee. He has his own album out and he has performed on many stages with many big artists. He is an amazing singer and guitar player and he encourages me every day to keep going.

I also want to thank Uncle Kracker how him and Kendall Tucker Music showed me it was possible and allowing me to perform on stage with them. I will share pictures below with me with them. And people like Chase Wright and Jimmie Allen. And there’s also many more and thanks to all my singing, teachers and vocal teachers.

There will be 23 songs on this album, though this sneak peak does not have them all. So be sure to download the album and check them out!
