Support Marc Morin's Fight Against Cancer
Donation protected
Marc Morin is a survivor. After receiving a diagnosis of stage 4 grade 3 lymphoma in 1999, the past 20 years have been spent battling cancer with treatments every year or two, culminating in a difficult "salvage treatment" in 2012 in preparation for a stem cell transplant. Later that year, Marc participated in an experimental treatment that appeared to finally get the lymphoma under control.
Recently, however, he has received another terrible blow—a diagnosis of lung cancer.
Marc and his family are clearly not strangers to fighting illness, but this current battle will take everything he's got. With bills and expenses steadily piling up from surgeries, tests, treatments, hospital stays, medications, and transportation costs, your donation of $10, $20, $50, $100 or more could help defray the serious expenses costs that Marc and his family are now facing.
Background
Marc's education was in mechanical engineering (automotive), and opened his own business in 1981, though because of health issues had to close it in 2007.
Marc has had a deep and long-term interest in conservation work and outdoor program youth education. He is a past president and life member of the Oakland Park Conservation Club, and co-founded two programs within the club, Baitcasters and KidsAfield. Marc was also involved with both Stone Laboratory and the School of Environment and Natural Resources at The Ohio State University and was responsible for the initial funding of the Edwin G. Lawton scholarship for Native American students at OSU. He is a life member of NAICCO, the Native American Indian Center of Columbus, OH, though he has not been active in recent years due to health issues.
He has also been an active participant in AudioKarma, the online audio forum. As AudioKarma members know, Marc has a vast knowledge of turntables, cartridges, tonearms, and set-up—especially of vintage Acoustic Research turntables—and has always been generous with information whenever technical questions come up. In addition many AK members have relied on Marc's skill in restoring their own 50-year-old AR turntables to even-better-than-original performance.
He has been married to his wife Barb since 1974 , and is father to four children, six grandchildren, and five great grandchildren.
Please help if you can—thank you!
