Small communities like our beaches consider their residents, families. They have businesses, raise families and get involved.
Steve Falck and his family have been in the Berlin and Ocean City, Maryland area for so many years. Steve was a builder, Patty has been a teacher, is still an artist and a shopkeeper. You have been to her stores, TaDa, in Berlin, Maryland. Her own daughter, Blair, had Blair Elizabeth in Rehoboth for years; now with TaDa in Berlin, as well. Brooke is a Spanish teacher in Delaware.
Then, the news came in 2009. Steve was diagnosed with MSA. Multiple Systems Atrophy. And, what is it? It is a very rare and progressive, neurodegenerative disorder with no known treatment or cure. Most of us would collapse at those news. Steve and his family have rallied to get informed and to also bring it to the attention of others. Much research is needed. And, Steve needs our help, as well.
The first thing the Falck family did was establish a foundation. It is the Stephen Falck Foundation. Website? http://www.stephenfalckfoundation.com. By establishing this foundation, they are hoping that by funding research, they may help those currently suffering, and provide hope in the future for a cure. Please visit the website, for further info.
