A MESSAGE FROM Mark's Fundraising Page

I want to share something personal—and ask for your support in something really meaningful to me.

This year, I’m running the New York City Marathon to raise money for Gilda’s Club, an amazing organization that provides free support for people and families affected by cancer. And for me, this cause hits incredibly close to home.

My wife carries a rare genetic mutation called Li-Fraumeni syndrome (LFS), which dramatically increases the risk of developing cancer—often at a young age. It’s been a constant presence in her life, and now, it’s part of our son’s life too. He also tested positive for the same gene.

We’ve felt the weight of this diagnosis firsthand. The doctor’s visits, the scans, the what-ifs—it’s a lot. And while we do everything we can to stay on top of it medically, emotional support is just as important. That’s where Gilda’s Club comes in. They offer community, understanding, and strength to families like ours—and thousands of others walking a similar path.

So, I’m lacing up my shoes and running 26.2 miles not just for the challenge, but for them—for my wife, for our son, and for everyone affected by cancer.

If you’re able to donate, I’d be so grateful. Every dollar goes toward providing support, hope, and resources for families who need it. And if you’re not in a place to give, even just sharing this message means a lot.

Thank you for being in our corner.
