Dr. Peter Karch, age 71, will attempt to set a world record for the oldest person bicycling the longest distance, solo and unsupported. On May 5th, Karch plans to ride from Carpenteria, California to Assateague, Virginia to beat his already established 2003 world long distance bicycling record. This current ride is also meant to raise money and awareness for Awakenings Health Institute (AHI), a Solana Beach, California rehabilitation facility for paralysis established by his daughter, Laura (Karch) Gries. 100% of your donation will provide service for hundreds of individuals who are unable to afford long-term healthcare programs designed for dealing with the
complexities of complications emanating from their disability.
Restoring The Lives Of People With Disabilities Through Physical, Emotional, Mental and Social Integrative Rehabilitation and Preventative Medicine....
The Saul Mendoza Financial Assistance Program allows individuals with a Stroke, Spinal Cord Injury, Traumatic Brain Injury, or any other Neurological Disorder to receive the thorough rehab and health that everybody deserves. Through partial and full ride scholarships from our community, donations help people and families get through the hardest of times and even have enough health to enjoy their lives.
AHI treats patients after they have been released from this care, for as long as they need. Insurance does not support this open-ended time frame.
The AHI program also tends to all facets of a healthful life and lifestyle with Physical, Emotional, Mental, Recreational, and Social rehabilitation: all synergistically working together to CREATE HEALTH and RESTORE LIVES.
