LAUGH FOR SIGHT AND ALL BLACK LIVES MATTER
Comedian and assictive technology expert, Brian Fischler joins Mark to talk how “Laugh For Sight” has raised vital funds for degenerative retinal diseases and how the 14th annual LFS with headliner Robert Klein on Monday Novemeber 28 and co-hosted by Mark Farrell, will continue the tradition of bringing the best comics of today to defeat degnerative retinal diseases. www.laughforsight.com
When #BlackLivesMatter went viral in 2013, it shed a light on the urgent, daily struggles of Black Americans to combat racial injustice. The message resonated with millions across the country. Yet many of our political, social, and economic institutions are still embedded with racist policies and practices that devalue black lives.
Tehama Lopez Bunyasi co-author of STAY WOKE: A People’s Guide to Making All Black Lives Matter (NYU Press, joins Mark to shed light on the evolving effort to bring attention to the precarious nature of Black lives in the United States. Delving into history from Reconstruction through Jim Crow, and taking a hard look at today’s troubling political and social climate, the authors expose the deep roots of structural racism in America and its enduring, pervasive impact on racial inequality. Tehama discusses the staggering statistics and data to document how Black men, women, and children are disadvantaged and devalued by negative stereotypes, discrimination, and segregation in every sector and aspect of life—from criminal justice to housing, education, and unemployment.

Pictured L-R (Mark Farrell, Hillary Weldon, Amanda Cali and Terry Eleftheriou
Imagine your body seizing up. Unable to walk, bend over or not being able to simply wave hello or goodbye. Hillary Weldon and daughter Whitney Weldon know all too well how Fibrodysplasia Ossificans Progressiva (FOP), an extremely rare degenerative disease has impacted their lives. Amanda Cali is also well versed in this condition that her son Ian Cali was diagnosed with at age 5. Mark talks with Hillary, Whitney and Amanda about the onset to the vital clinical trials that are being conducted and how they feel it is their mission to educate the public as well as doctors globally on this rare disease. And no better conduit to enlighten the world then through a riveting full length documentary film they created aptly named, “Tin Soldiers”. Amanda Cali and Odette Schwegler are the Executive Directors and Assistant Producers are Hillary and Bill Weldon. Movie trailer: https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=2163573907045300
About: Fibrodysplasia Ossificans Progressiva (FOP) is a disorder in which muscle tissue and connective tissue such as tendons and ligaments are gradually replaced by bone (ossified), forming bone outside the skeleton (extra-skeletal or heterotopic bone) that constrains movement. This process generally becomes noticeable in early childhood, starting with the neck and shoulders and proceeding down the body and into the limbs.

“Mark’s willingness to use his disability to uplift others is both generous and remarkable. His message resonates with all of us who have worked hard to overcome life’s adversities.

“Mark Farrell is a dynamic speaker who will captivate the audience by sharing his personal story of how he was able to overcome challenges in life and worked his way to success. We scheduled Mark for 45 minutes, but our students were so engaged in his story that Mark spoke for over 1 hour. I still have students approach me and discuss Mark's message and say, "if he could do it, so can I”

DOCTOR EXPLORES OWN LOSS & IMPACT ON THE BRAIN, ESTABLISHING WORK ETHICS AND TUTORING
A DOCTORS SELF Dr. Lisa M. Shulman joins Mark to explore the effects of losing and grieving a loved one on the mind, brain, and body. Interweaving her personal story with research on the neurology of grief, Dr. Shulman sheds light on loss as an emotional traumatic brain injury. Dr. Shulman’s new book: Before and After Loss delves into the science behind grief to dispel mystery and help those experiencing loss feel less overwhelmed, less anxious, and less alone. “Individually, the experience is unfamiliar and surreal,” Dr. Shulman acknowledges, “but there’s comfort to be found in understanding how our brain responds and heals following traumatic loss.” LISA M. SHULMAN, MD, is a professor of neurology at the University of Maryland. She is the author or editor of numerous books on neurologic disorders, including Parkinson’s Disease: A Complete Guide for Patients and Families, now in its third edition.
From working as a garbageman in college to landscaping and carpentry – how I developed a solid work ethic through arduous positions that provide invaluable lifelong skillset.
