Josh Perry Out of Surgery!

I got an great text from Josh Perry himself saying he was out of surgery and recovering. The doctors said they got everything they saw and that he was doing extremely fine and should be home in a few days. One doctor even said Josh looked better than he did, ha. Josh really wants to thank every one who is supporting him through this and said he couldn't have done it without you! Yeah Josh!

Just letting everyone know that Josh is in good spirits and preparing for surgery this weekend. I just came back from the JoMo Pro and there was so much support for Josh out there. Athlete Recovery Fund made up some stickers and overnighted them so riders could put them on their helmets and show support. There is also a interview up on FatBMX with Josh and ARF's Aaron Cooke.

Josh Perry informed us of some unfortunate news this week. His head had been hurting for a few weeks and his vision was even a bit blurred. Josh had fallen on his bike, but never hit his head hard enough for these kinds of symptoms. When he went to the doctor and was examined, a tumor was found in his head. The doctors say that it’s benign and not cancerous. The tumor is not in the brain tissue yet, but will continue to grow, so they have to do surgery to remove it. The good news is that the tumor is not scattered, so removing it shouldn’t be too difficult. Josh is currently seeing neurologists and taking steps to prepare for surgery. The Athlete Recovery Fund (ARF) has flown Josh’s parents in to be with him through this. Josh said; “Thanks to everyone for the support and good wishes. I’ll definitely be going crazy while off my bike and looking forward to riding with everyone again!!!"

We are all thinking about you Josh! Resist/Recover/Ride!
