Well i watched this story and I was blown away. I never seen such young child that was ambitious as he was. The part that really touched me when he presented the other young child a pair of running prosthesis. I would really love to meet Cody one day and give him a great big hug! I could not stop crying as I sat there watching his story! Go Cody you ROCK!!!!!!!! Dont ever let anyone tell you that can'c do something! :)
