Daniel Mack AML Cancer Fund

Iron Man Dan
36 Hole Scramble 2009

Dan Mack passed away April 30, 2009 at the Hospice of Queen Anne's surrounded by family and friends.  Danny was diagnosed with Acute Myelogenous Leukemia on February 9th, 2008 and traveled from Johns Hopkins University Hospital in Baltimore to Fairview Hospital at the University of Minnesota and then on to MD Anderson in Houston. On April 6, 2009 Dan finally got the stem cell transplant from his sister that he fought so hard to make happen.  While the transplant did start to work, the cancer quickly returned and Dan returned peacefully to God.

Dan was always, and his family remains, so thankful to so many.

Your donations to the PPF (Patty Pollatos Fund) will 100% go to the needs of Daniel's family. We can not thank you enough. God Bless.
