Help Mark Pannaralla Knock Out Cancer!

My name is Megan Delaney, and I set up this GoFundMe page for Mark (Pan) because he is one of my best friends, and I love this couple so much. As some of you may know, Mark was diagnosed with Stage 3 Throat Cancer. He has an excellent team at M Health, and they are optimistic about his prognosis, but he has an incredibly challenging journey ahead of him. Starting next week with six weeks of chemotherapy and radiation, followed by the damage his body will go through during this process, leading to a taxing recovery period. I know this tough guy can do it, but this family has had a rough year. In the last two months alone, they have lost 3 of their fur babies ... and now this... This C-word stuff is overwhelming and figuring out what you need and when is not always apparent. But what is clear is love and support. Mark is blessed to have his amazing wife, Jennifer, by his side and an army of friends and family supporting him. Though they have good health insurance, the medical bills are unknown at this point, and they will be relying on a single income for the next several months (at a minimum). I thought that creating this fundraiser would ease some of the financial stressors and help so Jen can feel comfortable taking time off work to be with him when he needs her most. Pan was hesitant for us to start this fund, not wanting to impose on others, etc. But we reminded him of his own generosity and his gift of helping out friends and loved ones in the past. I and so many of his friends and family want to be able to help in some small way, and I thought this would be one way to show up and support this fantastic couple. We got your back Pan; I know you can beat this! We love you!
