Groom for Marni

“I have to get these dogs done…for Marni” Please Share this Groomers story! 

 

This is a picture of meGroomer Sarah Perkins (on left), with my Best friend Marni (on right) when we were 17. Marni and I have been Grooming buddies, since we were 17, and we are now 50.  




Marni is the best groomer I know. We had plans to groom our way into old age together. Sadly, Life had other plans. 6 weeks ago Marni woke up with paralysis and was later diagnosed with MS. She is currently undergoing treatment, and her future as a groomer is yet to be determined. Grooming has supported Marni and her 11 year old daughter for a lifetime. Now with disability pending .they currently have no means of support .  Marni is everything a groomer should be. Those of you who know Marni, know the adversities she has overcome in her life.  She loves grooming and has shared this passion with friends, clients, and students. Marni has mentored many Groomers and been inspirationall to her many freinds in the local grooming industry...

I realize this could happen to any groomer who suddenly becomes physically unable to Groom. I am reaching out to Professional Groomers everywhere asking you to help me help Marni.  Here are some fund raising events put together by grooming friends in Marnie’s Support.
