Burn injury is a tragedy unlike any other. Rehabilitation happens simultaneously on a physical, emotional, and spiritual level. After Cody Byrns sustained and recovered from his severe burn injuries, he realized the need of the burn survivor community, and the costs involved with helping patients heal not just physically but emotionally too. This led him to begin his own 501 (c)(3) nonprofit organization, which sponsors burn survivors from around the country to receive the proper care and guidance needed, on their journey to thrive with a life-long injury.

Cody looks at this with the mindset of, “I’m blessed to be a blessing,” and he’s witnessed first-hand how these funds and your support can show patients that we care, and that they can overcome and live a beautiful life beyond their scars. In an effort to provide a source of inspiration, and the motivation to move on following a severe burn injury, the Foundation actively facilitates attendance at burn camps and conferences with other burn survivors, to further enhance the lifelong process of recovery.
