Mark Zappe’s Recovery

Anyone who knows our dad has seen what real strength looks like. From the strength in his body to the resilience in his heart, the man will never take no for an answer. He has always been steadfast, hardworking, and dedicated to our mom, our family, and his friends.

As unmoving and persistent as he has been, he has recently undergone an emergency surgery that will take him out of work for awhile. He’s scheduled for an additional surgery this week as well. Knowing he will likely scoff at our attempt to help, it’s the least we can do for the man who has sacrificed his body and his time for us to achieve our dreams. While we can’t alleviate the pain of missing the woods or being in the hospital during the holidays, we can hopefully help with any financial burdens that may arise while he recovers.

Thank you to all of our friends and our family for checking in with us, we appreciate more than you know during this difficult time.

And to our dad: “Tough times don’t last, tough people do.”
