Super Kid: Cody Peer

Jump to Comments

Her parents say she was overcoming obstacles even before she could walk or talk, much less get on a skateboard. It’s amazing that Cody is in good health. She was born with a hole in her eye, a rare condition called a coloboma that can leave you blind. A few months later, she got apnea and stopped breathing. Cody spent months at Shriners being monitored.

    Hey Cody…I have been sitting here for over an hour trying to figure out what to write, which doesn’t happen often and leaving a comment on a website is even more rare for me, so I’ll just keep it simple…your story touched my heart and brought tears to my eyes…you’re an inspiration, your story mirrors Lacey’s in so many ways. To Sandra, I can so feel your pride. Every single skate girl brings something different and unique to skateboarding and contributes in their own way to the growth and progression of girls skating, and I know that your contribution is gonna be amazing..! Cody, thanks for telling your story, Malika thanks for writing it and Kim thanks for sharing it on GLTR.
    Peace,
    Donna
