For those who don't know, Mark has been fiercely battling Lou Gehrig's disease. This disease is very rare and attacks the nerves which breaks down the muscles. Mark is the strongest man we know but he's tired and cannot fight anymore. His wife Ana and daughter Dakota have been caring for him in Hawaii trying to make him as comfortable as possible as his body is slowly breaking down.

For those who know Mark, you know he's actually got a HUGE heart. He'd give you the shirt off his back but never the last shot of Jack. He's always there give you the honest piece you need with a good belly laugh. Mark's love for his family is so real and raw. Watching him with his grandsons, Kingston, Owen, Bryson and Donovan, would melt your heart.

The boys love being around their Papa and he'd do ANYTHING to have more time with them. Mark is a sports guy and it's heart breaking to think, he'll never get to see his boys play sport, or help coach one of their teams. He won't get to play catch with then or school them on the basketball court.

We got the opportunity to visit him in Hawaii and even on his hardest days, he still showed up and gave us love and memories we could never forget. He promised to come haunt after he's gone and that he'd always be watching.

The funds we are raising is to help with medical expenses, cremation, and to help Ana and her family with any other living expenses. Ana has been working as much as she can but with a sick husband, it's difficult to show up everyday. We are wanting to help make things a little easier for the Bristow family and releive some of the stress that's on their plates.
