Jahshua Cooks is an outstanding young man, student, athlete & a role model for anybody who knows him.

While riding his bike to early morning cross country practice at Cinco Ranch High School, he was hit by a car and had to be life-flighted to Memorial Hermann Hospital. There he had several surgeries on his face, arm & mouth just to name a few. He's banged up, but we all know just how lucky he was.

He'll require a few months recovery after which he'll need more surgery to replace the entire top row of teeth he lost in the accident.

As you might imagine, helicopter rides (as Jahsh himself put it, "Can you believe I got to ride in a helicopter?") and multiple surgeries come with a steep price tag.

The entire Cooks family is a great group of people and I'm proud to call them my friends. If you know them, you know what I'm talking about. If you don't, you should go out of your way to meet them.

The family is blown away by the love and support they have received from both friends and complete strangers thus far. While at the hospital on Thursday, a family friend said, "Tragedy is a lot like moving. When you move, you think, what did we do to get all this stuff? When hard times hit, you think, what did we do to get all this love and support. Usually they're both the same, they've always been there but you don't notice it until it becomes front and center." 

I'd like to raise some money to help offset their growing burden and make sure that we're "front and center" when they could use it the most.

Thanks for even the smallest amount you could give.
