Mark Needs Your Help!

Mark Folsom, a resident of Mount Airy, Maryland, desperately needs your help. Mark’s life took an unexpected turn when in January of 2014, he was diagnosed with primary progressive multiple sclerosis, or PPMS. PPMS is the most aggressive form of multiple sclerosis, and Mark’s condition continues to deteriorate. Mark has continued to remain as active as possible, but the PPMS is taking its toll. He has spent many years involved in his local community; as a member of his church choir, a judge and referee for the community dive team, an assistant soccer coach, and a leader for “Christmas in April” through his employer. Mark even spent a summer donating his carpentry skills to help remodel a portion of his church, and was always available to help out with last minute needs of Vacation Bible School. Unfortunately, due to his symptoms, like extreme fatigue and pain, Mark is no longer able to volunteer in the way that he once enjoyed. Despite his condition and suffering, Mark never complains, but is now at a point where his MS keeps him from enjoying the simpler things in his life. Taking a walk, maintaining relationships, and simple activities of daily living are becoming much more difficult. Mark knows that his disease will eventually rob him of his ability to enjoy life and spend quality time with his family.
