Edith Stephen

Join Marc’s Trotters for our 12th year walking for a cure for Cystic Fibrosis! What started as an emotional first walk of family and friends became a tradition — and a movement to help find a cure.

We Walk for Marc, pictured with his grandparents, who turned 13 in March. He has remained relatively healthy with the help of his team of specialist, he has never been hospitalized. Marc still must spend 2-3 hours each day on his daily treatments. He must be careful in public to keep safe from bacteria and viruses that could make him sick. He also takes pancreatic enzymes with each meal to help him to digest his food, but he still often has stomach pains.

Marc is very talented, performing in his 10th musical  this June. He also takes voice and piano lessons – his piano teacher says he has perfect pitch and a natural gift for music! He loves to write scripts and then to direct family members (as his unpaid actors).
