This is my cousin Mark Ruge, he is 57 years old and  lives in Lafayette Indiana. On Friday Mark was diagnosed with progressive stage 4 pancreatic and liver cancer. He was given 2-12 months to live. Although life has not been very kind to Mark he has embraced life with love, joy and an incredible sense of humor. Mark is truly that guy that gives to others even when he has nothing. Mark served in our military  and is a true believer in the power of the Lord. Mark has always had a dream to visit Israel and hopefully with the love and the support of family and friends we can help him experience what he considers "the last thing he wants to do" 

Our initial goal is 5k, this will cover his burial expenses, and anything over that 5k will go towards his trip to Israel. 

If you feel led to help Mark, we would all be incredibly grateful
Thank you in advance from Mark and our family!!!
