COMMUNITY RATING




On April 8, 2000, Mark Hogancamp was attacked outside of a bar in Kingston, NY, by five men who beat him literally to death. Revived by paramedics, Mark had suffered brain damage and physical injuries so severe even his own mother didn’t recognize him. When he emerged from his coma nine days after the attack he could barely walk, speak or remember anything from his previous life. Less than a year later, Mark’s state-supported physical, cognitive and occupational therapies ran out. He was 38, broke, living in a trailer and unable to work. And he was angry. He realized he had two choices: he could give up and “let those five guys win,” or he could take control of his own recovery. And that is where Marwencol was born.
