2017 Recipient: Marcos Molina Mazariego.
Marcos is 2 years old and from Stony Point. He has an undiagnosed condition that is possibly genetic but the family is unable to afford testing.
His global developmental delay includes an inability to sit, crawl or bear weight on his lower extremities. When he is supported, he can lift his arms and reach for a toy. His body can move through a range of motions, but his joints resist the movement.
He cannot maintain eye contact or eat independently. He needs to be held in a stable position.
As of a couple of months ago, he is receiving some physical therapy at home.
As you can imagine, his parents and siblings are heartbroken.
He needs so much help and they know so much is wrong, but the testing costs are astronomical.
That’s why this year we are Cruisin’ for Marcos.
Come out to Bowline Park in Haverstraw, NY on Sunday, October 1 to help support Marcos and his family.
(Rain date is October 8).
