KARNS CITY, Pa. (KDKA) -- Hospitalized Karns City quarterback Mason Martin's family is getting support from Washington, D.C.
Mason Martin has been in the hospital since suffering a significant brain bleed during a game in September and he just finished his first week of rehab after fighting off meningitis and another infection. On Saturday, his dad Denny Martin shared photos of a letter and American flag he got from Congressman Mike Kelly. ... Kelly begins the letter by saying he's writing in both his official capacity as the family's representative and in his personal capacity as a father of four and grandfather of ten.
"You and Mason continue to be in my thoughts and prayers. My team and I have been closely following Mason's updates, including the wonderful news in recent days that he completed his first week of rehab. Moreover, I pray that Stacy is watching over the family this holiday season and over everyone as Mason continues his rehab."
Mason's mother Stacy lost her battle with cancer a month after he collapsed on the field and was flown to the hospital.
