On November 2nd, my brother-in-law was involved in a horrific biking accident while trail riding. While doing a jump, his handlebar got caught in his shorts pocket and caused him to crash on the limestone trail.

He has 3 broken ribs, a broken collarbone, fractured T3-T10 vertebrae, a torn trachea, and a punctured and collapsed lung. His recovery time is going to be extensive. He will be in a body cast for 12 weeks and will require months of rehabilitation. As a blue-collar worker, he is expected to be out of work for 6-8 months, at least. This is a devastating financial blow for him and his wife. On top of the recovery, he is without medical insurance and will have a tremendous hospital bill as he is not even out of the ICU yet.

I know that things are tight for everyone these days. However, if you are able and find it in your heart to donate, please know that it will be received with so much gratitude. Cody is the kind of person that will give you the shirt off his back and I hope some of that good karma will come back around for him.
