Get Well Soon Coach Mark!

It's been 7 weeks since I heard Mr. Muench got sick. They removed a tumor in his brain and he's been going through chemo and radiation ever since. I follow his blog http://markmuench.blogspot.com/ and sometimes if he doesn't post, I try not to think the worst. He's battling a terrible disease and I can only pray that he makes it.

I have been working with Mr. Muench for the past 4 years coordinating all the volunteers for the Fairport Challenger Baseball Program. This program helps mentally and physically challenged kids play baseball. He is so great with all the kids...always full of energy and positive words of encouragement. Right now he's asking for prayers and that's what I'm doing every day.

Soon after Coach Mark had his surgery, the team got together. We did exactly what he wanted us to do; we had fun, made "get well" cards and prayed for his health. I even had the kids put together a string of prayer beads - Coach says he carries it in his pocket every day.

The kids are looking forward to our spring training, and I am too. I'm sure we'll have another great season. Of course, Coach Mark will be there, like he always has.

Mark Muench is a great man and a great role model for all of us. God Bless him! Here's the video we made for him:
