After lifesaving treatment,
Kerry came back stronger.

“I woke up on Super Bowl Sunday and couldn’t feel my foot,” she recalls. “It was totally numb, tingling and ice cold. I was scared. I went straight to the hospital.” At 57, Kerry had smoked for 30 years. She also had type 2 diabetes and didn’t watch her diet.

Mark 

Lawrence + Memorial Hospital

After spine surgery,
Mark came back faster.

Mark was flying over the Long Island Sound when his plane’s engine failed and he came crashing down into the ocean. His skillful piloting prevented a disastrous outcome, but he was left with several collapsed vertebrae and slipped disks in his lower back. With a heavy heart, he wondered if he’d ever live pain free again.

Bridgeport Hospital

After double knee replacement, 
Leslie came back stronger.

Leslie grew up in a neighborhood where most of the kids were boys. “You either played with them or you didn’t play,” she said. Leslie chose to play -- baseball, football, riding bikes, and whatever else kept her active.
