However, Mike has a long recovery ahead battling to beat the leukemia and complications that have occurred as a result of the transplant.

He will be in and out of the hospital and hospitality house in Louisville over the next several months. Please join us in our efforts in helping Mike financially. All proceeds and donations will go toward paying for expenses incurred during Mike's battle.

Michael is married to Rebecca Mardis and is the son of Harold and Eunonia Greer Mardis, all of Campbellsville KY.

Mike's grandparents are the late Lemuel and Mattie Mardis of Campbellsville, KY, and the late Wesley and Francis Greer of Knifley, KY. If you would like to donate an item, please see one of the contacts below and a tax deductible receipt is available upon request.
