Rally for Mark: Overcome Cancer's Toll

Help Guitarist Mark Yodice Raise Money To Pay For Life-Saving Cancer Therapies

Mark is the kind of person who never asks for help—he’s always the first to give. His kindness and warm heart have touched everyone around him, which is why we’ve created this page to support him in a time of need.

Mark’s struggle began in April 2022 when he was diagnosed with metastatic renal cell cancer (kidney cancer). The cancer spread to his lungs and to his spine, leading to the loss of vertebrae; neurological damage, and extensive surgery . Thanks to months of painful physical therapy, Mark was able to walk again. Despite his courage, the challenges continue, as the cancer has continued to spread— last August to his brain -- effectively taken care of by these medications, and most recently to the pleura, the fluid surrounding our lungs, creating a very dangerous situation.

Having spent most of his own life savings on treatments over these past three years, the well has run dry and Mark is now facing financial hardship. He has fought so hard—now it’s our turn to fight for him. Every dollar raised will go directly toward his care and treatment, and every donation brings hope.

You can help save his life. That’s the greatest gift of all—knowing that you made a difference in someone’s fight to live.

No amount is too small and anything you can give will be deeply appreciated.

Let’s make sure Mark doesn’t have to face this alone. No one chooses to have cancer, but we can choose to help.
