Conor Colquhoun, better known as CDawgVA, has finished the 2026 Cyclethon after another long and demanding ride across Japan. This year’s event brought in nearly $1.5 million for the Immune Deficiency Foundation.
By the time he crossed the finish line, donations had reached around $1,470,000, making it one of the largest charitable streams on Twitch once again.The goal of this event is simple yet powerful. The money goes toward helping people with primary immunodeficiencies. Over time, this trip evolved into something much more than just cycling. It has become an annual moment where online communities come together and offer support in a big way.
Connor Colquhoun has turned Cyclethon into one of the biggest charity events on Twitch
This year’s Cyclethon lasted 15 days. Connor rode different parts of Japan while broadcasting the trip live. He wasn’t alone. He was joined once again by familiar faces like Chris Broad, along with many guests who appeared during different stages of the journey.What makes this event special is how much it grows every year. The first Cyclethon in 2022 raised more than $300,000. A year later, it exceeded $550,000. Then keep going up.
In 2025, the fourth edition brought in more than $1 million. Now, with Cyclethon 5, Conor has taken the total amount raised across all events to over $5 million.There’s also a personal reason behind the effort. Connor’s best friend, Iron Mouse, lives with an immune condition. Her story played a huge role in shaping this fundraiser and keeping it focused on real impact.The timing of this ending makes things even more interesting. The same weekend also saw the Sidemen Charity Match raise over $8 million for charity. This meant that two major creator-led fundraisers were going on at the same time, showing just how influential online communities are now when it comes to helping others.Connor kept things simple when speaking to viewers during the final broadcast. “This is something we build together every year, and it keeps getting bigger thanks to all of you,” he said.
