Team, I need you for something important. Tyler and Alexis are part of our gym family, and their lives changed in an instant a few days ago.
Tyler was riding a longboard downhill in California and crashed at around 40 miles an hour.
Doctors found bleeding on his brain, and he lost his ability to speak and walk.
At one point doctors told Alexis he could die.
He’s also covered in severe road burn and has been treated between the trauma and burn units.
Tyler is fighting back now.
He’s regained most of his speech, but he still can’t walk without a walker, he’s dealing with severe dizziness, and he’s currently seeing triple.
He needs someone with him around the clock, and Alexis hasn’t left his side through any of it.
They were supposed to fly home to Florida, but doctors say flying isn’t safe for his brain right now, so they’re facing a cross-country drive once he’s released.
On top of that, they’re covering hotels, a rental car, medical bills, and lost income since neither of them can work right now.
Physical therapy and speech therapy are still ahead of him.
This is what our community does.
We show up for each other, especially when it’s hard.

Every bit helps, and if you can’t give, sharing this post helps too.
Praying hard for Tyler’s full recovery. Let’s go, team. 🙏
