ABOUT MARK’S SITUATION AND HOW YOU CAN HELP:

On March 26, 2012, Mark Janas underwent emergency brain surgery to remove a cavernous malformation from his brain stem. His strong and speedy recovery is a testament to his will to live and positive attitude. He does however still have issues with partial eye and facial paralysis that have resulted in double vision and some speech difficulties which we hope, with time, will improve. But there will be weeks or even months of recovery and therapy ahead limiting his work load and thus, his income.

If you can give even one dollar for every year Mark has been alive, it will make a world of difference – but any contribution will be a greatly appreciated.

Many thanks to Fr. Jeffrey Hamblin, MD, and Christ Church Bay Ridge (where Mark is currently Minister of Music) for sponsoring this event. This means all contributions are tax deductible. All you need do is make the check payable to Christ Church Arts Fund, write “Mark Janas” on the memo line, and mail it to:

….or just bring it to the party.

Finally, please spread the good news about Mark’s party. Forward this email to anyone you know who would like to be invited to this exciting event and/or post it on your Facebook page.

Don’ t forget to RSVP… ASAP!

Your help and good wishes will be instrumental in Mark’s recovery and are much appreciated.

Gratefully,
