The Mark Farner Family's Mighty Mission~Faith Filled Farner Fans Please Step Up To The Mic

Please join us with positive thoughts and prayers for full restoration to Mark and Lesia's youngest son Jesse Farner.

Jesse took a serious fall on July 3RD of 2010 and suffered a fracture to the C-5 vertebra in his neck. We are Praising the Lord that his spinal cord was not severed and we are Praying to the Lord for his full restoration. If you would like to post blessings and prayerful thoughts to Jesse there is a Face Book GROUP Page titled: "Pray For Jesse Farner" with pictures and well wishers for Jess. But please, they have asked that no video's, music or other pollution be posted...this is purely about a wonderful, loving young man that needs all the good energies we can supply with our caring, motivational words...it's not about Mark.

Mark said: "Thank You for the prayers my son floats on"

For further information on Jesse's progress, Mark and Lesia have graciously supplied some progress reports on the homepage at: http://www.markfarner.com/jesse.php

From the stage, Mark dedicated I'm Your Captain to Nam Vets and regarding Jesse's condition said: "He ain't feeling nothin' from the neck down but, he tell's me; "Dad we're gonna rock it again someday"

Jesse has decided NOT to be a victim of his current circumstances and so intends to "pull himself up by the bootstraps." This is the mighty mission set before Jesse Farner and the entire Mark Farner family. Please respond in Love, light and good wishes to:

Jesse Farner
PO Box 47
Lynn, North Carolina, 28750

Also, a Jesse Farner fund has been set up on his behalf. There will be remodeling and special needs apparatus needed to have him go home from the rehabilitation center.
