Over the summer, Holy was diagnosed with ALS, which is also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease, per the Mayo Clinic’s website.
“ALS often begins with muscle twitching and weakness in an arm or leg, trouble swallowing or slurred speech. Eventually ALS affects control of the muscles needed to move, speak, eat and breathe. There is no cure for this fatal disease,” the site read.
The community decided to harvest more than 400 acres of Holy’s sugar beet fields to show they are supporting the family. Although it was difficult for him not to be working in his own fields, Mark was grateful for his neighbors’ actions.
“It is bittersweet. I wish I could do it, but God has a plan,” he stated. “I just want to say thank you to everybody… who is helping my family at a time when we are hurting.”
