This is a historic feat with Julie receiving this award for a second time! This time she had her knee replaced in February of 2024. Now, fairly bionic and able to leap small objects in a single bound, she is ready to take on the world. Julie can walk where she wants, climb stairs easily, and energetically get up off the ground!!
Julie says: “I haven’t knelt in over 20 years, and now I can!! The dedication that everyone gives to each individual that walks through the doors of Peak is amazing. Little things like the dances we do make it fun and really enhances the experience. The laughter at the small, but wonderful accomplishments make coming worthwhile. I met so many other people with similar issues, and we could compare and talk. That’s what makes Peak so special.”
Karen says: “Julie brings sunshine to the place every time she comes in. She is able to focus on her exercises while making a new friend every visit! She loves the encouragement, and the “loving push” to do things she hasn’t been able to do in such a long time. Julie was patient and persistent. She is a veteran at rehab knew that there is hard work for a while to get to the finish line, but she never gave up. Rehab can be tedious, but Julie adds that little flair and laughter to her hard work. She has practiced her victory dance and does it well!! Go girl!!”
Julie chose Lollypop Farm as her charity. A $50 donation has been made to the Lollypop Farm in honor of Julie’s accomplishments here at Peak.
