On June 13, 2025, my cousin Christopher, an Altadena resident, was riding his beloved motorcycle in Pasadena, CA, when he was cut off and struck by a vehicle after leaving the gym. We're still waiting on the official police report, so it's unclear at this time whether it was a hit-and-run.

Christopher was unconscious when he was transported to Huntington Memorial Hospital, where he was found to have multiple fractures and internal injuries. He has already undergone surgery and will require additional procedures in the coming days.

A former Marine, Christopher recently graduated as a medical lab technician and had just begun the search for his first job in the field. He is currently unemployed and now faces the added stress of medical bills and living expenses during his recovery.

Chris is a kind, resilient young man who’s facing a long road to healing. Any support will go a long way in easing his burden during this difficult time.
