ReM.A.R.C.able Foundation

Making A Difference!

LJ Shurpik Concord NH 33

I was born with at the time a very rare birth defect. I was missing bones in my right foot and leg. When I was one years old they amputated my foot so I could be fitted with a prosthetic. When I was 7 it became clear my right leg was not growing as fast as my left and we did a lengthing surgery. This lead to 100 more surgeries and procedures. When I was 10 my knee collapsed and we decided to amputate above my knee. Besides a scar revision I have been surgery free since that final amputation on my leg. I live a very active life working as a medical biller and at a distillery as a tasting room hostess. I have found healing through athletic endeavors. Be it mountain climbing, CrossFit, or skiing. Since working with a nonprofit photographing their marathon team I have wanted to handcycle marathons. But have had no access to the equipment I needed. Through the help of the ReM.A.R.C.able Foundation I now have my own handcycle and will be able to take my training to the next level and participate in the NYC Marathon this November and hopefully many more races in the future. I am beyond thankful for this assistance and making this long term goal come try!

Marc made the commitment in 2023 to move forth with giving back through his own 501c3 nonprofit organization, therefor creating The Re M.A.R.C. able Foundation. This will allow him to give back resources, equipment, and financial support to the mobility impaired community and caretakers.
