The Rise Above Tour - is the evolution of an extraordinary recovery process. The tour is far more than a grass roots campaign effort… It is a lifestyle. There is no end site which would limit our ability to promote the power of possibility and showcase the benefits of ongoing therapeutic exercise. Through public speaking presentations, athletic endeavors and fundraising events The Rise Above Tour will promote and raise awareness for C.O.R.E “Center Of Rehabilitative Exercise” ….Continuously!



Last year, June 2007 Aaron Baker and a team of dedicated, like-minded individuals set off on a journey of epic proportion. The 3,182-mile bicycling tour crossed the United States from San Diego California to St. Augustine Florida raising awareness and funds for Spinal Cord injury research and more importantly rehabilitation. It is through tireless rehabilitation that Aaron whom once paralyzed is now propelling a bicycle for this great cause. Quotes Aaron- “I envision opportunity, an abundance of opportunity for my fellow friend who suffers. A common place where he/she can improve the quality of their life through exercise and inspiration. Our goal is to provide this opportunity.”
