Earlier this year, our family received news that changed everything. Mark — a devoted husband, father of four, and the sole provider for his family — was diagnosed with Stage 2 rectal cancer. The emotional and financial toll was immediate, with high out-of-pocket medical costs and a long road of treatment ahead.
Mark’s diagnosis brought more than just a fight against cancer — it brought mounting medical bills and tough choices no family should have to face. Our mission is to lift some of that weight, easing the financial burden so Mark and his family can focus on healing and being together.
Today, Mark is facing this challenge with courage and optimism. He’s down to his high school weight — around 180 lbs — and has begun his chemotherapy treatments. Even in the midst of it all, his smile shines through. You can follow his journey and cheer him on through his Instagram page @mark_life.interrupted
