The Ride of His Life: Completing the Stephan ChallengeRecovering Spinal Cord Injury Patient Mark Stephan Finishes Monumental Bike Journey Across the Country to Benefit the Rehabilitation Institute of ChicagoBy the time Mark Stephan rode his bike into St. Augustine, Florida, on July 2, he had just about seen it all. In 78 days, he had pedaled 3,129 miles coast to coast, starting in San Diego on April 15, 2012. Along the way, there were steep rides up mountain slopes and sweet coasting through shady pecan orchards. There were surprise visits from police and the unexpected companionship of a 5-year-old on a tricycle. There were aching bones, tired muscles and a pressure sore that led him to the ER for treatment. There was even an accident and a tropical storm. But for Stephan, an avid cyclist who became a quadriplegic five years ago, it was the ride of his life – a chance to demonstrate Ability, and to raise awareness and funds for the new Research Hospital planned by the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago (RIC), the place where his recovery began.
