"After surgery on my right lung, Dr. Ward Houck called me Lazarus in reference to the Biblical man who was raised from the dead," reflects Mark in awe. This fall, Mark and Cheryl celebrated his 62nd birthday. Considering the near-death ordeal the couple experienced, Mark's birthday this year "meant everything."
Mark recently approached the Ascension Saint Thomas Rutherford Foundation and asked how he could personally thank his caregivers. On Monday, November 22, at 9 AM, Mark will present his healthcare heroes with the Foundation's Guardian Angel Award.
