<div>Dear Friends, Family, and Kind Supporters,

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>My name is Caroline Guercio McDonald, and I am reaching out to all of you on behalf of my dad, Mark. On January 27th, at the age of 61, my dad was diagnosed with terminal pancreatic cancer after months of illness and extensive testing to get a clear diagnosis. Our world was turned upside down in an instant.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Despite this devastating news, my dad has chosen to fight with everything he has. On February 17th, he began aggressive chemotherapy treatments in hopes of slowing the progression of this relentless disease. The road ahead will be challenging, but he is facing it with incredible strength and determination.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Pancreatic cancer is one of the most aggressive and difficult-to-treat cancers, and the financial burden of treatment is overwhelming. The costs of medical bills, chemotherapy, medications, and necessary care continue to mount, making it increasingly difficult for our family to manage alone. While we are doing everything in our power to support him, we need help.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>This GoFundMe campaign is our way of ensuring my dad gets the best possible care without the added stress of financial hardship. <strong>Every donation, no matter the size, will go directly toward his treatments, medical expenses, and essential support for our family during this time.</strong> If you are unable to contribute financially, sharing this campaign or offering words of encouragement would mean the world to us.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><strong>Mark is a loving son, brother, father, and friend who has always been there for others.</strong> Now, we have the chance to be there for him. Please consider making a donation to help my dad in his fight against pancreatic cancer. Together, we can give him the support, hope, and strength he needs to keep going.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>With gratitude and love,

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Caroline Guercio McDonald
