Mark Conlon, Sr.

Hi, my name is Phil Conlon, I am the oldest of six brothers and all but one has worked for NNS.

As many of you are aware, my brother, Mark Conlon, Sr., has been battling Glioblastoma Multiforme - Brain cancer for the past three years. The average life expectancy after diagnosis is 14 to 16 months. Miraculously, he has been defeating the odds! Although we are blessed and fortunate to still have Mark with us, this journey has been taxing on Mark's mind, body, spirit as well as financially.

He receives a multiple-hour chemotherapy infusion session every other week and MRI roughly once a month. These sessions are incredibly costly, and insurance only pays for a fraction of the cost. Currently, Marks's total expenses have exceeded one million dollars. Starting a GoFundMe campaign to raise funds will help alleviate some of this financial burden, reducing the level of stress that he has already endured. Any support you can give would be greatly appreciated. Thank you and God bless you for your help!

Very fondly,

The Conlon Family
