Zack’s Story

When he is released from Casa Colina he will return home and enter an out-patient physical therapy program at Project Walk in Carlsbad, CA. (www.projectwalk.org). Project Walk developed and practices The Five Phases of Recovery: (The Dardzinski Method™), an intensive exercise-based recovery program designed to stimulate the nervous system. The method was created and continues to grow and adapt from years of experience working solely with spinal cord injuries. This is not a six month, one or two year program. It is a program dedicated to pushing you as hard as possible to recover as much as possible, however long it takes. This is the program that their clients have chosen who have made the most recovery.

Unfortunately, Project Walk is not covered by insurance. Because of this and other uninsured costs Zack’s family and friends have started a fundraising campaign through Help Hope Live. This nonprofit organization has worked for nearly 30 years with the organ/tissue community and in 2000, they expanded their mission to assist those who have sustained a catastrophic injury such as Zack’s. All donations made to Help Hope Live in Zack’s honor go directly to his injury-related expenses and are tax-deductible to the full extent of the law. If the donation is made by check, 96 cents of every dollar goes to Zack’s uninsured expenses. If the donation is made by credit card, 93 cents of every dollar goes to his uninsured expenses. Any contributions will be greatly appreciated and will help Zack on his way to recovery.

The program at Project Walk consists of a 3 hour therapy session three days a week. Be part of Zack’s miracle at a donation level you feel comfortable with and know that you are making a difference
