Why Mark Pilgrim chose to document his battle with cancer
In a 2022 social media post, Mark Pilgrim revealed why he decided to document his true, candid cancer journey.

“Well, that's one of the reasons I've been journaling my cancer journey online. It's summed up in this message I received from a follower a while back: 'I don't feel like getting out of bed today. I read your post…and I stood up.”
He continued, “If my posts encourage just one person to find the inner strength to face another day, it's all worth it.”
