This fundraiser has been created by friends of Katy Willis, in loving memory of her husband, Mark.

Mark was a devoted husband, a loving father to Ethan and Emmet, and a cherished friend to so many. Originally from Adelaide, Australia, Mark met Katy while they were both working aboard the Disney Wonder. He dedicated his life and talents to theatrical production, including his work with Disney Cruise Line and Cirque du Soleil.

For the past eight years, Mark bravely battled cancer with extraordinary strength, grace, and determination. His relentless resilience inspired everyone around him, family, friends, and even his doctors, who saw firsthand his unwavering determination and fierce will to live fully, love deeply, and face each day with courage.

Many of you have asked how you can help. We know there is a strong desire to lift Katy and the boys up in this time of profound loss. In lieu of flowers or gifts, we invite you to make a contribution to support Katy, Ethan, and Emmet during this incredibly difficult time. Your generosity will help ease the financial burdens ahead and create a foundation for the boys’ future.

Every gift, no matter the size, is received with deep gratitude.
