About the benefit

Lcpl. Kyle Francis USMC ret. has recently been medically retired from active duty with the United States Marine Corps. He was seriously wounded in Afganistan in May 2010. While still recovering from his injuries, he has been diagnosed with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), often referred to as Lou Gehrig’s disease. We will be holding a benefit at the Maplewood Inn on November 11, 2012, for Kyle and his family to help cover the costs associated with his care and added expenses the family will incur to provide an accessible home and transportation. We are looking for items that can be used for raffles, gift certificates or monetary contributions payable to the Kyle Francis Benefit. In return for your generosity we will display your company’s name, location, website and along with your contribution at the November 11, 2012 benefit. Thank you for considering our request. If you have any questions or are willing to contribute in any way, contact Linda Martin at (315) 882-5889 or email herosforherobenefit@aol.com. Click here to download our flyer.
