Adaptive cycling event co-hosted by WellSpan Health, Spokes Fighting Strokes

The healthcare company collaborated with Spokes Fighting Strokes to empower those facing physical and cognitive challenges.

YORK COUNTY, Pa. — WellSpan Health joined with a nonprofit to help community members overcome physical and cognitive challenges. 

WellSpan Health was in York County on Monday and teamed up with the nonprofit Spokes Fighting Strokes for a free demonstration to show how adaptive cycles can empower people. 

Dan Zimmerman, the founder of Spokes Fighting Strokes, suffered a stroke and is now touring the country on an adaptive cycle. Zimmerman is showing people how they can overcome their disability and regain independence. 

"Don't give up," Zimmerman said. "Get a trike [and] follow my footsteps."

Zimmerman started his tour in Arizona at the beginning of the year and will finish at the end of the year in Florida.
