TOTT 15 is happy to introduce our friend:

Markendric hall

Markendric is 12 years old.  His mom Xzabria says he is a smart, outgoing, kind kid who has made the honor roll at his school this first quarter! Markendric has a condition known as Spinal Muscular Atrophy type 3.  

Markendric was diagnosed when he was in kindergarten after having concerns with his physical ability development in his late infant and early toddlerhood.  His mom noticed he began having tremors and recurrent fevers and continued to fight for them to find answers as to why he was continuing to decline. 

Thankfully, they were able to find answers from a doctor in Louisville.  While a diagnosis was helpful to have, Markendric continued to decline and is now in a wheelchair, lacking the ability to walk any longer.  This disease effects the use of his muscles and has weakened most of his core and spine.  Despite these struggles, he continues to thrive at school and keeps a positive outlook on life! 

a portion of this years proceeds will go toward helping fund a wheelchair accessible van for Markendric and his family. 

His mother is so grateful for all of the love and support they have received and continue to receive.
