During his time in the Marine Corps, Mark was awarded the Purple Heart for his bravery, which he also exemplified daily in his actions as a first responder. Unfortunately, our community lost this hero on November 22, 2017 when Mark was tragically taken from us at the young age of 33; he left behind his beautiful wife and two wonderful children.</p> <p><span style="color:#e03e2d"><b>Call to action: </b>Mark’s enthusiastic attitude and service before self would want us to put our running shoes on and join his family for our <strong>8</strong><b>th annual event</b>. This year&#39;s event will be held at Daffin Park in the beautiful Midtown of Savannah! We are encouraging everyone to come together to celebrate and honor Mark and those who have made the ultimate sacrifice. We invite everyone to sign up and walk or run, whether it be in-person or virtually, to continue the tradition we have started.
