“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.  If you’re looking for a podium speaker, look elsewhere.  Mark stays on the move and keeps the audience engaged.  Thank you, Mark”

Johnny Callebs KAPP Executive Director

“Mark spoke to our high school students, teachers and volunteers and they are clamoring for him to return. Mark tells stories of his failures and triumphs with humor, compassion, unblinking honesty and with an energy that ignites the room leaving us connected to him and feeling a whole lot better about ourselves.  Our time with Mark Farrell was unforgettable and joyful.  This man is a treasure.
