Support Cody Rapoza's Fight Against Cancer

My name is Katie Kieling, and I’m creating this page on behalf of my amazing brother, Cody Rapoza, and his family. For those of you who know Cody, you know he’s full of life, always ready for the next adventure, and an incredible example of health and vitality. Cody is an outdoor enthusiast, a passionate snowboarder, and a fitness lover who inspires everyone around him with his energy and dedication.

A few weeks ago, Cody received the devastating news that he has colon cancer. During a CT scan to determine if it had spread, doctors discovered a tumor in his lymph node—a completely separate form of cancer likely to be follicular lymphoma. Cody is now facing not one, but two battles against cancer.

This past week, Cody underwent surgery to remove a large tumor from his colon and a golf ball-sized tumor from his armpit. While the surgery went smoothly, we are awaiting biopsy results to confirm the next steps. For now, Cody is focused on recovery and navigating this challenging road ahead.

Cody does have insurance and sick leave, which are helping with some of the financial strain. However, the medical bills, copays, and additional costs associated with surgery and ongoing care are adding up quickly, and the need for financial support is still significant.

How You Can Help:

We’re asking for your prayers, encouragement, and, if you’re able, financial support to help Cody and his family during this incredibly difficult time. Every donation will help cover medical bills, recovery expenses, and ease the burden on Cody and his loved ones so they can focus on what matters most—his healing and well-being.

If you’re unable to give financially, we would be so grateful if you could share this campaign with your friends and community.

Cody has always been the one to show up for others. Now it’s our turn to show up for him. Thank you for reading his story, and thank you for any way you can support, whether it’s through a donation, a prayer, or spreading the word.

With gratitude and hope,

Katie Kieling
