Rick Marks is a long-time Winchester resident and local Scout leader who was sadly diagnosed with ALS last fall.
The Marks family is dedicating their time to help raise awareness and funding for the disease; and Wright-Locke Farm and Troop 507 will be hosting the Fall Festival to help support their mission.
Rick’s Fall Festival is a family fun event with activities for all ages that will be held on Sunday, September 10th from 3:00-7:00 pm at Wright-Locke Farm, 82 Ridge Street, Winchester, MA.
The cost of the event will be $20 per person or $30 per family, and all proceeds from the event will go to ALS ONE.
ALS ONE is a non-profit partnership of many of the leading ALS experts in the world from venerable institutions, including Massachusetts General Hospital, UMass Medical School, ALS Therapy Development Institute and Compassionate Care ALS, with the goal of finding treatments or cure for ALS by 2020, while improving care for those battling ALS now.
