It was recently discovered that our awesome friend and much-loved family member, Hans Mak, has melanoma. Tumors were discovered in his brain and lower right lung. They are working with the Seattle Cancer Care Alliance to ensure he gets the best treatments possible while caring for the quality of his life. We are being as specific as possible because we need your prayers and healing thoughts to be specific for Hans, as well as for Ellen. We need to be as positive for them as we can as we grasp this news in shock. Let's rally around them in the most kind, graceful, and loving way possible. Please use this site for updates, sign up to help in some way (opportunities will be populated on the calendar), send your positive thoughts and words of encouragement (see the feedback area below the calendar) and share the site with others if you know Hans would benefit from them knowing (friends, those who pray or are spiritual, prayer chains, people who will help to send healing, loving, kind thoughts/messages). Thank you for being Hans/Ellen's caring support village for this loving family who has supported all of us so fiercely over the years.
