Seahawks Advance to NFC Championship Dear Friends: I am coming to you today on behalf of my brother, Mark Brock. He suffers from Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). His lungs are failing and he is unable to do many things that most of us take for granted. Mark's doctors at University of Washington Medical Center have told us that his only option is a life-saving double lung transplant. Which brings me to the purpose of this letter, not only is a trans plant major surgery, it is also extremely expensive. Even with insurance, there are many expenses that are not covered and must be paid out of pocket. He will be on a life-time of anti-rejection medications. Mark will need to travel from Portland to Seattle and relocate for at least 3 months at the time of his transplant. This is where your help is desperately needed. To help ease this Financial burden, a fundraising campaign in Mark's honor has been established with HelpHOPELive, a nonprofit organization that has been assisting the transplant community for 30 years. All donations are tax-deductible, are held by HelpHOPELive in the Northwest Lung Transplant Fund, and are administered by them for transplant-related expenses only. So please consider making a donation today. On behalf of Mark and our family, thank you for your kindness, generosity, support and prayers; Thank you, Kristina Booker, 503- 281-6092 Please send donations to: HelpHOPELive 2 Radnor Corporate Center 100 Matsonford Road, Suite 100 Radnor, PA 19087 Make checks payable to: HelpHOPELive.
