Support Mark's Fight Against Cancer

Donation protected
Hey everyone. We need your help. Our friend and brother Mark can really use our support right now. Back in 2020 Mark was diagnosed with a Glioblastoma (Brain Cancer). There’s a life expectancy of only 18 months after diagnosis. After multiple surgeries and a fighting spirit 5 years later Mark is still with us. Last summer Mark had a surgery that really took a toll on him. He lost vision in his left eye and he gradually started getting weaker on his left side. But in true Mark fashion he was still in great spirits and took it in stride. Unfortunately, March of this year Mark had a scan that would be pretty devastating. His cancer came back and it actually started forming on his brain stem. This means no surgery. In May he went to Puerto Rico to spend time with his parents and family. Unfortunately because of his condition he won’t be returning to New Jersey. In his weakened state it is almost impossible for him to get out of bed on his own. All donations will go towards a lift and a great quality wheelchair so he can at least regain the ability to get out of bed with assistance. Mark would not think twice about helping out anyone in need and we just hope that you would consider any amount to help towards making this possible.
