Ennismore Cares Challenges Community To Get #WheelingForMark As They Near Their $20,000 Goal

With the support of the community and local fundraising group ‘Ennismore Cares’, over $16,000 of a$20,000 goal has been raised for Mark Mose, a six year old boy battling a rare disease.

Ennismore Cares is a group of community members that have come together with the goal of supporting Mark and the Mose family to ease the financial burden that is associated with Mark's diagnosis of an ultra rare disease.

“It is incredibly heartwarming, yet not surprising, to see that our community has shown up for this beautiful boy and his family.” said the Ennismore Cares 2022 Chair, Marcy D'Alessandro. “The Mose family is incredibly grateful for all their support and are overwhelmed by the response thus far.”

The second phase of the campaign is a cartwheel challenge, #wheelingformark.

A new Go Fund Me has been created so that the Mose Family has funds for future travel and medical costs. The goal for the second phase is $6,000 which will surpass the total fundraising goal of $20,000.

Local community members are challenged to film themselves on social media, complete a cartwheel, donate $25 to the campaign and challenge 3 other community members to do the same.

Over 400 students at Mark’s school, St. Martin Catholic Elementary School in Ennismore, kicked off the challenge on Tuesday, challenging other schools in the region to do the same.

Funds raised will go towards the purchase of a hospital bed for Mark and a lift system to make the Mose home more accessible.
