When Dion Eason of Kalamazoo, Michigan, had a stroke in February 2024, the right side of his body was affected. Just months later, he was asked to stand in a wedding—a request that felt impossible. But Dion said yes. That goal became the driving force behind his recovery.🧡 💫With determination and the support of his Mary Free Bed care team, Dion proved something powerful—to all of us, but most of all, to himself: Extraordinary things are possible, even if you have to get there one millimeter at a time.💫 Read Dion’s full story and see photos: https://www.maryfreebed.com/stories/meetdion/ #StrokeAwarenessMonth #OutpatientTherapy #Kalamazoo #AskForMary (fb)

From First Steps to Finish Lines: Congrats, Clementine! 🏁 👟 In 2019, Clementine Sikiri experienced a traumatic brain injury and spinal cord injury. After seven weeks at Mary Free Bed in Grand Rapids, Clementine rebuilt her strength step by step, holding on to hope and chasing every milestone.🌟 And this weekend? She showed us she’s still crossing finish lines – when we caught her at the Amway River Bank Run 10K!🏁 From not being able to move a muscle to now running 10Ks. Clementine says, “Our bodies are magic.” And every step she’s taken proves it.✨ We’re in awe of your strength, Clementine! You’ve come so far and you’re still reminding us “There’s Always Hope.” 🧡💚 #AmwayRiverBankRun #Hope #Inspiring #TBI #SCI #milestones (fb)
