On March 14th, Cody was riding his motorcycle when a driver turned left directly into his path, hitting him head on. He went over the handlebars and hit the pavement hard. His femur shattered on impact and his femoral artery ruptured, causing internal bleeding that put his entire leg at risk. The surgical team moved fast. They repaired the artery, drove a titanium rod through his femur secured with nails and screws, and performed a fasciotomy to relieve the pressure that was building in his leg and threatening to destroy the muscle. That last procedure is the reason he still has full use of his leg. He still has a drain in and a third surgery ahead of him. He can’t walk. He can’t stand. His doctors are telling him it’s going to be months before that changes. This event crashed right into his world. He married the love of his life, Claudia, on February 6th. They had just moved into their first place together. They were five weeks into building their life when this happened. Cody is the kind of man who would work three jobs before he let his wife carry a burden alone, and right now he can’t get out of bed without help. That weighs on him as much as the physical pain does. Cody is a personal trainer at Evolution Physical Therapy in Santa Monica, where he works day in and day out with people fighting to rebuild their bodies after serious injuries. He also brings nutrition education into mental health treatment centers, showing up for people who are navigating some of the hardest chapters of their lives. He does it because helping people find their strength again is genuinely what drives him. This crash has taken away his ability to work, and with it his income, at the exact moment he and Claudia are building something new together. He is facing the cost of multiple surgeries, an ICU stay, months of intensive physical therapy, and the everyday living expenses of a brand new household while completely non-weight bearing. Claudia is right by his side through all of it, and every dollar donated takes some of that pressure off both of them. Cody’s only focus is getting back on his feet so he can get back to the people who count on him. That’s just who he is. If you can give anything at all, it goes directly toward keeping him stable and moving through recovery. If you can’t give, sharing this story means just as much.
