Just as inspiring is Mark’s personal story. As a cancer survivor, he brings a deep, personal commitment to CureSearch’s mission to ensure that every child diagnosed with cancer has a safe and effective treatment option.

“It is with great enthusiasm and a deep sense of responsibility that I join CureSearch’s Board of Directors,” Mark shared. “As a survivor myself, I am a passionate advocate for advancing cancer research and am honored by the opportunity to contribute my skills and experience to a mission that matters deeply to me.”

Mark’s support of CureSearch extends beyond his Board service. This year, he’ll participate in the CureSearch Ultimate Hike in Jackson, WY—a meaningful way to celebrate 20 years since his first cancer diagnosis and to raise critical funds for cutting-edge childhood cancer research.

“Mark’s professional leadership and personal commitment to advancing cancer research make him an incredible addition to the CureSearch Board,” said Jared Brancazio, CureSearch Board Chair. “We’re honored to have him help guide our work and accelerate our impact.”
