Arash Bayatmakou Needs Your Help
Dear Family and Friends,
As many of you know on July 8, 2012, I broke two cervical vertebrae in a horrific fall, which left me paralyzed from the chest down. Initially, doctors were unsure and unclear of my prospects for recovery, and did not provide me much hope or encouragement, instead telling me to focus on adapting. But from the beginning, starting just hours after my spinal surgery, I decided I would do everything in my power to get back on my feet. Since then, I have taken on a full-time schedule of rehabilitation and recovery engaging in everything from physical therapy to acupuncture to Pilates to water therapy.

While I continue to progress slowly but surely, my recovery activities have not ceased. If anything I have intensified my regimen of Pilates based therapy, swimming and aqua therapy, body work and home therapy.
It's through your continued support that I'm able to stay focused on my recovery and continue to work towards my goal of getting back on my feet.
THANK YOU!!!
