<div><strong>Jan. 9 update: How this fundraiser supports Marc's recovery</strong>
</div>
<div>Every penny of this fundraiser will be put to Marc's rehabilitation and medical expenses, which currently amount to approximately $10,000 per day. He'll directly receive your support once it's released by GoFundMe. This fundraiser is being organized by Katie, a D.C. friend of Marc's.

<div><strong>Jan. 8 update</strong>
</div>
<div>Marc's doing really well. He has: re-learned how to shower (with assistance in a wheelchair); took his first assisted steps using a walker and human support; and practiced moving his legs while watching in a mirror to re-learn awareness of how his legs work.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The biggest piece of all of this is that he went outside for an assisted walk and managed to be up and about for 30 minutes.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>He's been able to access funds raised thus far and we've got eight days of rehab paid for on top of the five that his insurance will cover. Please keep the words of encouragement coming--he loves reading them.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you haven't read Connor Jones' piece in The Register yet, it's got lots of great Marc quotes about what the past week has been like and <a href="https://www.theregister.com/2025/01/07/def_con_security_chief_injured/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">why your support means so much</a>. Spoiler alert: spicy memes can go a long way.

</div>
<div><strong>Stretch goal!</strong>
</div>
<div>We blew past our initial goal in less than 24 hours.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Because anticipated medical expenses will be through the roof (approximately $10k per day for rehab with only five days covered by his insurance), we're adding a stretch goal. We think we can get to $100k and will keep publicizing this effort to support Marc. If you're moved to share this fundraiser with other people who have been touched by Marc's generosity and kindness, well, here's a beautiful moment to do so.

<div><strong>Jan. 6 update</strong>
</div>
<div>The great news is that cjunkie is getting ready to be moved to a rehabilitation unit where he'll do occupational and physical therapy. The not so great news is that it's $10k per day and insurance is only covering five days of therapy.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We're on track to hit our initial goal of $50k, which gets him ten days of intensive rehabilitation, but if you're able to give and haven't already, it still really matters.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Why your support matters</strong>
</div>
<div>cjunkie (Marc Rogers) is an invaluable and beloved member of our hacker community: a great researcher and friend who’s always ready to jump in and help, no matter the project or problem. He recently suffered a whiplash incident that broke his neck and is currently recovering in the hospital. He’s in good spirits and progressing in his recovery but the road ahead is long and unfortunately expensive.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We'd like to proactively solicit contributions to cover medical bills, including therapy costs and rehabilitation facilities.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>It’s our turn to give back to someone who’s devoted countless hours championing infosec at all levels and has always been an unwavering source of support to so many of us.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Please donate if you can, and help spread the word. All donations will be directly transferred to Marc.
