Mark Strawn is a neighbor of ours who was involved in a serious car crash a few weeks ago. He's recovering nicely, but he is still mostly immobile, is in need of constant care, and has a long rehab with an uncertain outlook ahead of him. He and his wife Sabrina, who is currently on leave from her job as Executive Director of GHASP, have two children, and they are facing enormous medical bills that may force them out of their house.

To help offset some of these bills, friends of Mark's have organized a benefit for him on Friday, May 4, at the Heights Fire Station on Yale at 12th. Details are at the link. There will be live entertainment, food from Treebeard's, and a silent auction, for which donated items are still being accepted. A planning status meeting will be held at Onion Creek on Friday, April 6, at 5:00 PM for anyone interested in helping out.

Sabrina has been maintaining a blog about Mark's recovery for those who care about him. If you can help at all, please come to the benefit or drop me a note. Thanks very much.
