CDawgVA completes Cyclethon 5 raising nearly $1.5m for charity

Content creator CDawgVA has completed Cyclethon 5, raising nearly $1.5 million for the Immune Deficiency Foundation during his annual charity livestream event. The 2026 edition concluded with total donations reaching $1,470,000.

Cyclethon has become a recurring fundraising initiative on Twitch, combining endurance cycling with continuous livestream coverage.

This year’s event saw Connor cycle across Japan over a 15-day period, joined by collaborators including Chris Broad and other guests appearing throughout the journey.

The fundraiser supports individuals living with primary immunodeficiencies, aligning with the mission of the foundation. The event’s growth has been consistent since its launch in 2022, when the first Cyclethon raised over $300,000.

The following year exceeded $550,000, and later editions surpassed the one million dollar mark. In 2025, Cyclethon 4 generated $1,069,561, marking a significant increase in contributions.

With the completion of Cyclethon 5, Connor’s cumulative fundraising total from the series has now exceeded $5 million.

The initiative has been closely associated with his friendship with Ironmouse, whose experience living with immune deficiency has been cited as a key influence behind the campaign’s charitable focus.

The conclusion of Cyclethon 5 coincided with a wider period of online fundraising activity. During the same weekend, the Sidemen Charity Match 2026 raised more than $8 million for Bright Side and M7 Education, placing two major creator-led charity events within the same timeframe.
