Finding health and hope

After a stroke robbed him of his sight and independence, Vietnam veteran Michael Perryman had few resources to aid his recovery. On a fixed income, gym memberships and physical therapy were too expensive, and without a place to exercise he found his health and spirit deteriorating. The discovery of a Fitness Zone in his St. Petersburg neighborhood park was a game-changer: the free equipment helped Perryman restore his balance, strength, and hope.
