A simple hike in the Colorado mountains turned Mark’s world upside down. After days in the ICU, he was diagnosed with West Nile Virus, which attacked his nervous system and left him paralyzed from the waist up. With the help of Craig’s therapists, Mark pushed through intense physical, occupational, speech and recreational therapy—working on everything from adaptive biking to golf putting. Last weekend, Mark took on Pedal 4 Possible at the Raceway, Craig Hospital’s annual biking fundraiser! Reflecting on his journey, he shared, “Thinking back to where I was last year—no thanks to a mosquito—brings up powerful emotions. But I am so happy to be outside doing the activities that I enjoy. I feel extremely grateful for how far I’ve come.” Follow Mark's story going from a bed at Craig to biking in our annual Pedal 4 Possible event: https://lnkd.in/gk7_7E5G
