Support Mark's Lung Cancer Treatment Journey

If you know Mark Ratcliffe, you know he is one of the healthiest, most fit 64 year olds! He never let his family touch diet sodas or anything with artificial additives. He was also always found doing push-ups, or pull ups wherever he could and he still does!!! Not to mention he is the sweetest man with so much wisdom and always willing to lend someone a helping hand. We never expected Mark to have any health challenges. 2 years ago he was faced with a bladder cancer diagnosis and has successfully overcame bladder cancer. Just recently we found out he has Stage 3 Lung Cancer. A second type of Cancer unrelated to the bladder, that he will soon begin chemotherapy treatments and then will follow with a surgery to remove his RLL.

As we begin this journey & fight with him, our family would be appreciative of any prayers. We are overly grateful for the doctors, nurses and any medical staff that will be aiding in Mark's care. We are MARK STRONG ❤️

It has been overwhelming trying to keep everyone updated as we learn more each day, all while being able to be present with family. We created a CaringBridge page If you'd like to stay up to date with Mark's Progress. Please follow the CaringBridge page for updates, prayer requests, and the opportunity to send Mark encouraging messages as he overcomes this challenging time. If you enter your email to join his page, you will receive notifications each time there is an update posted. You can follow the Caring Bridge page here:

Other's have asked how they can help provide meals or make donations to support the family as they travel back and forth to Houston for his care at MD Anderson and other unexpected medical expenses and needs. If you feel inclined to to help, you can make donations through GoFundMe and all donations go directly to Mark and Sonya Ratcliffe.

Mark's Mantra: "Strength, power, change, and miracles! We can and will overcome!"

Thank you for all your love and support!
