After becoming paralyzed at 12 years old due to the autoimmune disorder Transverse Myelitis, Cody Unser, along with her mother Shelley, founded The Cody Unser First Step Foundation. The Foundation works to raise awareness, encourage medical collaboration, and improve the quality of life for those afflicted with Transverse Myelitis. Through her foundation, she established Cody’s Great Scuba Adventure, which uses scuba diving as a therapeutic tool for people living with disabilities. The documentary “Sea of Change” explored the neurological and psychological effects of scuba on a group of chosen paralyzed Veterans. Due to her work with adaptive scuba diving, she recently was inducted into the Women Divers Hall of Fame, making her the first woman with a disability to be so honored.
