Mark Hodges

Mark Hodges is the third of eight children who grew up with their profoundly disabled brother, Philip. He is a former business executive who has been writing this book in his head for most of his adult life. He decided to finally write it in the hope that families with disabled children might benefit from his perspective of having grown up with Philip. Grateful for his health and capabilities, he attributes his experiences growing up to his sense of optimism, confidence, work ethic, compassion and determination to do his very best with the gifts he has been given. Proceeds from the book will be donated to the Wendell Foster Center in Owensboro, Kentucky and to United Cerebral Palsy.
