Hello family and friends, we are reaching out to you during a challenging time for our family. 

As some of you may know, my husband Marcus has been bravely fighting cancer for more than six months. This battle has included emergency brain surgery, radiation, and several hospital stays. Marcus is now undergoing chemotherapy and is unable to work. As a result, I am juggling work, managing meals, and driving our son Scott to many of his activities. 

We appreciate the support we have received thus far. The continued kindness and generosity of friends and family makes a real difference for us. Here’s how you can help:

  1. Choose from Support Registry options - help with meals, transportation, pet care, etc.
  2. 'Follow' Updates to stay informed
