Mark Bourdeau

Many of you know that Mark has dedicated his life to aircraft fueling work. He spends countless hours serving an industry he loves.

In March 2022, he began in depth testing to determine why he was having more and more difficulty breathing, all while continuing to work and travel and do his very best to ensure his responsibilities to both his company and the consortia he chaired were being upheld.

It was determined that he has idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, and for two years following diagnosis, he continued on a fairly stable path. We had the amazing blessing of going on our first cruise together in December 2023.

In January 2024, after welcoming our first grandchild, Mark was hospitalized for the first of many days to follow. Mark is now at Cleveland Clinic and will remain hospitalized until receiving new lungs.

We can plan as much as possible, but our lives our not in our hands.

Our family and friends are raising money for the nonprofit Help Hope Live in honor of Mark Bourdeau to fund uninsured medical expenses associated with transplantation.

We have chosen to fundraise for Help Hope Live in part because Help Hope Live assures fiscal accountability of funds raised and tax deductibility for contributors.

Contributors can be sure donations will be used to pay or reimburse medical and related expenses. To make a tax-deductible donation to this fundraising campaign, click on the Give button. And please share Mark’s page on your social media platforms. Every donation helps.
