On May 31, 2025, during the second 250 Group A qualifying session at Round 2 of the Pro Motocross Championship, professional motocross athlete @trevorcolip suffered a crash resulting in a broken femur. What began as a serious but manageable, injury quickly turned critical. While undergoing treatment, Trevor became unresponsive. After a series of emergency tests, doctors discovered that Fatty Emboli released from the broken femur had reached his brain, causing multiple strokes and significant brain damage.
Though his femur was placed in traction correctly, a rare and dangerous leak path in his body allowed emboli to bypass natural filters and travel directly to the brain. Over the past 19 days, Trevor has undergone multiple surgeries, including heart and lung operations to locate the cause but no confirmed path has been found. On June 14, a surgery was finally performed to stabilize his femur with reduced risk to his brain. Trevor has been alert and responsive since his most recent surgery but in immense pain.
His family, although being away from work to be with their son across the country the past 19 days, has waited to ask the community for help until they truly felt they needed to. The medical flight needed is estimated around a minimum of $65,000. The intense Physical, Occupational, and Neurological Therapy needed to treat his brain damage is estimated at $60,000. Donations will go directly to these two costs, and with the next steps and timeline still uncertain, Trevor’s family is grateful for every bit of love and support.
