HUDDY STRONG

To most of us, he's Carson. To a whole lot of people, he's Huddy — an 18-year-old from Colorado who had just graduated high school and was weeks away from starting at Arizona State when everything changed. On July 30, an ordinary summer morning on the lake turned into a catastrophic boating accident that nearly took his life. In the weeks since, Carson has fought through more than a dozen surgeries, two stays in intensive care, and the beginning of a recovery that doctors expect to take years, as he works to regain the use of his left leg.

This website is where his story lives. It's where our family shares updates from the road ahead — the surgeries and setbacks, the milestones and small wins, and the moments in between that don't fit in a text message. It's also where you can help: by donating to Carson's recovery fund, by sharing his story with your own circle, or by giving blood, the same gift from strangers that saved his life. However you found your way here, thank you for standing with Huddy. He has already survived things we weren't sure he would. Now comes the part where he builds what's next — and he won't be doing it alone.

This is where Carson's story unfolds — the hard days, the big wins, and everything in between, shared by the people who love him most. Check back often, or subscribe below to get updates as they're posted.
