Mark Wiedenfeld, is a 34 – year - old husband, father of three, and now a T-4 paraplegic. Almost three years ago, one day after his wedding, Mark took a spill in the desert on his dirt bike. After two surgeries, and a two- month stay in the hospital, doctors told him he would never walk again. When insurance denied him further rehabilitation, Mark found Challenge Center. Mark has been riding the computerized functional electrical stimulation cycle (CFESC) and working out using our adapted equipment. As you can see from the photo, Mark doesn’t let much get in his way when he has a job to accomplish, such as repairing his roof. He has now gained enough strength to begin physical therapy at Challenge Center to work on his walking. He is happy to have access to both the CFESC equipment and physical therapy to speed his recovery and reach his goal of walking completely on his own some day. Mark says that Challenge Center is keeping him on target with his continuing recovery.
