A brave struggle has ended
Posted: Tuesday, December 09, 2008 by Travis Cody inSince May, I've been following the brave journey of a wonderful person recently struck by cancer. He died this morning.
My heart is heavy at this news. Mark knew his cancer was terminal. I don't know if I could have his strength to fight as hard as he did.
It's ironic that this is Jimmy V week on ESPN. The V Foundation has raised over $80m in the last 15 years for cancer research. The motto of the V Foundation is Don't Give Up, Don't Ever Give Up.
The name of Mark and Rebecca's blog is Cancer is Killing Me - I Will Never Give Up!
As Mark's wife Rebecca wrote today, Mark's pain is at an end and he is at peace.
Please stop by Mark's blog and offer a word or two for Rebecca.
Please also consider donating tonight in Mark's name to the V Foundation.
That is so sad to hear. I knew of Mark and his blog through Jennifer. May he rest in peace and know that he inspired many others with his outlook and courage.
