13-year-old Keith Erdman of Mesa is our first-ever bull-riding Small Star -- and he needs your help in order to showcase his skills on the national stage.

Keith, who has been riding since he was just five years old, finished third at the Arizona Junior High School Rodeo Association state championship last month.

That finish, along with his outstanding grades in school, have qualified him to compete in the National Jr. High Rodeo Finals in Lebanon, Tennessee on June 5.

The only problem is it costs a bit of money to make the trip, which is why Keith's family has created a GoFundMe page to help raise the necessary $4,000 so he can join the competition.

Check out the above video to watch Keith in action, and then make sure to visit Keith's GoFundMe page to help him make the trip to Tennessee!
