Racine Sheriff Helps Cody Struble Give Back

RACINE COUNTY, WI — Nine-year-old Cody Struble just wants to give back.

Though an elementary school student, Struble has already seen a lifetime of struggle. He was diagnosed with sagittal craniosynostosis, a painful condition where a child’s skull plates fuse together before they should.

Struble underwent three major skull surgeries by the time he was 5 years old to alleviate the painful condition. He underwent treatment at Children's Hospital and logged many hours in treatment and recovery there.

On Dec. 23, Racine County Sheriff's officials helped Cody Struble with his delivery of toys to Children’s Hospital.

Deputies say they were overjoyed at the chance to help Cody with his cause.

With assistance from four deputies, one of the department's specialized vehicles was filled with more than a dozen moving boxes stuffed with toys and then delivered to the Ronald McDonald House Charities at Children’s Hospital in Wauwatosa.

"We would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to Cody and his family as they bring joy and comfort to children in our community that are hospitalized and unable to be home for Christmas," Sheriff's officials said.
