Anderson Family Fitness raises money...

ANDERSON, Calif. - Chaz Baldwin's family is determined to see him receive treatment for his traumatic brain injury at a special clinic in Colorado. The total cost is around $15,000, of which they have raised $1,710.

On Saturday, Anderson Family Fitness, where Chaz is a member, will hold a car wash fundraiser to help get him to Colorado.

Baldwin, 25 of Anderson, was involved in a head-on motorcycle crash in Napa, Calif. in 2014.

He spent 64 days in a coma and 4 months in the hospital, with no promise from doctors that he would ever walk or talk again.

Baldwin's motherLeeann Small said it was atSanta Clara Valley Medical Center that Chaz made leaps and bounds with his recovery. He took his first steps and began talking again.

Now, Chaz works out almost every day at Anderson Family Fitness, according to owner Chris Frost. He also recently obtained his driver's license.

Frost said he has seen the miraculous physical progress Baldwin has made due to his determination. He would do anything to help Chaz get to Colorado.

"I'd drive him to the airport if he needed," Frost said. "Just to see him earning some of those freedoms back is pretty cool and to see what it's done to him. And that just comes here and it builds a synergy around him."

Baldwin would receive cutting edge treatments at TBITherapy in Colorado, including regenerative therapy, which restores the structure and function of damaged brain tissue.

The car wash will be held in the lot next to Anderson Family Fitness at the corner of Ganyon and McMurray Drives in Anderson from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.
