Kilian Sass: A Dying Wish Fulfilled by 15,000 Bikers
14 Oct 2025
In July 2021, six-year-old Kilian Sass from Rhauderfehn, Germany, was battling terminal lymphoma. His final wish was simple yet profound: to hear the roar of motorcycles.
His father, a member of a local biker group, shared this wish online, hoping for a few bikers to ride past their home. To their astonishment, over 15,000 bikers from across Europe showed up, turning the quiet village into a sea of roaring engines. The event, dubbed “Krach für Kilian” (Noise for Kilian), was a testament to the kindness and solidarity of the biking community.
This spontaneous outpouring of support not only fulfilled Kilian's wish but also highlighted the power of collective kindness. Many bikers, some of whom traveled hundreds of miles, participated to honor a child's simple desire, showing that compassion knows no bounds.
Welcome to I Treasure You

Have you ever stopped for a moment, looked at yourself in the mirror, and thought: "Am I really valuing myself the way I should?"
Most of us don’t.
We treasure our families, our jobs, our homes, even our possessions — but when it comes to treasuring ourselves, we often forget. We run through life ticking boxes, chasing deadlines, and meeting expectations, while the most important relationship — the one with our own self — quietly takes the back seat.
That’s where I Treasure You comes in.
