THE POWER OF COMMUNITY!

We asked you to help us make a ruckus, so a dying man could get home to his wife.  This is the story of how you came through and together we managed to get the attention of one of the largest pharmaceutical companies in the world.  Way to go, crew, way to go!

Never Underestimate the power of:

  • community
  • vulnerability
  • asking

Thank you so much for your encouragement, support and help!  It takes a village and we couldn’t have made an impact without you.  We’re beaming with gratitude!

Progress has been made but, we’re not done yet…not until Mark has a supply of medication in hand and a guarantee of more on the way.  We’ll continue to follow up with Mark and keep you in the loop.

 

UPDATE: Best News Ever!!!

September 2020 Update from Mark.

 

No More Lemons Please

2020 has been one helluva year.  Sort of like a horse pill stuck in the back of my throat.  Not terrible enough to need the Heimlich maneuver, just enough to make me want to drink until it goes away.

I am so very thankful for all the good that has come our way and the opportunities we’ve been given.  But the good stuff doesn’t make the hard stuff any less difficult.  Seems everyone I know is feeling this way.

I have hope we’ll see the other side of this pandemic and all the chaos it has brought with it.  One day it will be but a distant memory.  Until then, we take it one day at a time, lean on each other, and make lemonade where we can.

But seriously world, no more lemons.

Hello there! I honestly don’t know what to say, so I am going to tell you a bunch of random facts instead. I'm a fish eating vegetarian who hates spiders and loves snakes. I almost never took vacations growing up. I wanted to be Pippi Longstocking (still do). I misspell about every other word I write and still struggle with grammar. I love splurging on a good high tea (which is really hard to find these days). And whatever you do, don’t tell me I can’t do something, because then I'll HAVE to do it!

    it is SEPT. 13,2021 andd i just saw both of your videos concerning marks condition and your 2 day follow up, and I have to ask – How has he fared in this past year? Is he still alive and well? Thhanks, just concerned and curious. (These emails posts are not dated and hard to discern which contain current news!)

    • Curious Minion

      They just mentioned him in a current video! He’s doing great – Astra Zeneca is supplying his meds and he’s finally sold Millennium so should be reunited with his family by now.
      Thanks for asking!

  • Mark

    Wow! What an inspiring story…
    If Mark and his wife would like to return to Millennium next year and continue their adventure I’d happily pay his monthly medical expenses to share the adventure with them. There is a catch though – I come with a wife and two children under 3! 😜👌

    you guys are just plain awesome. I shared the story with my sister who live in Jeffries bay running Mpendulo savings. They all know of Mark there, he is well known among the sailing community. Best of everything to all of you.

    Your stories are like sewing a quilt – every story “square” has a different theme and meaning and this one was extremely emotional. It’s a human story, and you 2 are genuine and wise. We’ll all get through these times, and you’ll look back and be grateful that you made a positive difference. When bad things happen, I always say, well at least we are making memories and building character. I know it’s difficult, but keep on smiling…..

    Although not mentioned, I would assume that the airlines can still bring medical supplies in whenever needed, so I guess Mark can get his meds delivered right there after he gets the Doc’s prescription.

    Thank you for the wonderful videos. Have been watching your adventures as a weekly escape for some time now, but your videos of Mark’s story and his positive attitude during this epic struggle are awesome. Glad you where able to make a difference in this inspirational man’s life. We are hoping you will back onboard soon, and are looking forward to the next weeks adventures.

    Not hope you read this! So Mark can find financial help. Goto Cancer.org. You will find a listing of charitable philanthropic organizations around the world that helps individuals find funding for all facets of Cancer Care. As a former Nurse Case Management specialist. I have found thousands of people funding or free services for their treatment needs.It’s available but hard to wade through the system.

    I’m so glad to have been one of the people who reached out to Astra Zeneca on Mark’s behalf. As a retired nurse, I am well aware of the irritations that dealing with insurance companies can produce. But there are is strength in numbers, apparently, and no company wants to get the bad rep of being uncaring – especially brought out publicaly. I hope the fuss we all caused helps Mark get his meds!

  • Carl H. Gregory

    Hi there,

    I saw the previous video that you posted concerning mark and was moved to join the movement to get Astra Zeneca to assist him with the medicine that he needs to continue living. I shared your post to the thousands of Teamsters who follow my Facebook page American Sanity. I personally do not have the means to contribute the kind of money necessary to pass for the costs of the needed medication. I do hope that my little contribution of time was helpful.

    Mark,

    I wish you all the best brother and may you continue sailing the seas spreading brotherly love and cheer whatever the wind blows for many, many, years more. Don’t be a stranger and don’t be afraid to ask for help.

    Thank You! I am not a “commenter” preferring to ..lurk in the background. But.. you have become a part of my .. community. And you have given me reason to reflect on what that means. A Community is individuals. Diverse, different, separate individuals. Differing sometimes opposing views, backgrounds, beliefs. Sometimes we don’t agree. Individuals, limited in our power to bring change or to effect the world outside our own spheres.
    Until we become a community . As a community our power to effect the lives of other individuals is magnified many many times. Even in unintended ways sometimes. You are examples of that.
    I doubt that you listed saving lives as a goal when you were weighing the risks and benefits of going on the road full rime and committing to sharing your lives with all of us. But consider what the community has done. How many unknown influences, possibly unintended, but just as real, just as profound. What have we wrought. 😁
    Thank You, Niki and Jason
    And everyone like you.

    Human interest stories are about people, what they do, where they go, how they do it. They can be entertaining, inspiring, emotional, educational, adventurous and they can resonate with parts of our humanity that has empathy for others and offers help in times of need. People need love, hope and opportunity. Sure i have watched all of your videos since the beginning when i wanted to learn about RV life. Then slowly felt that The Wynns just being real was also educational to my desire to be more than entertained. I wanted to know them not only in their glory happy moments but also in the unhappy times to see how they navigate through that as well. The addition of Mark into the adventure has brought out who the Wynns are as people who face life changing decisions that involve strangers. The cost of being vulnerable and open to people we do not know who may need our help has risks but the cost of isolating from humanity and ll of the problems has greater risks in as much as we may lose empathy. Sure i like vicarious situations like watching the Wynns helping Mark but my hope is that i can be more like them by being a adventurer into helping others also. Thanks for those who have given the Wynns this platform. You are part of the solution.

    You have been placed where you are for a reason. Whether you believe or not God holds you.

There is more for you to do and you will get back to your boat/home. When the time is right. So take heart and as a local dj here in the Dallas area used to say…”Keep looking up, cause that’s where it all is.” Blessings to you and to Mark too.

    Ooph. That one got me. I don’t know what I would do if I were not well and could not be with my sweetie. The frustrating thing is that even criminals get released from jail for compassion reasons if they are terminally ill. I can’t believe something can’t be done to reunite Mark and his wife. The medication situation is one thing but given the circumstances, Mark and his wife should be reunited. I realize if the authorities do it for one, they must do it for many. Just seems so odd to me something can’t be done. Anyway …

    Thank you for what you’ve done. You guys are not squandering your time on earth, that’s for sure. Was tough for me to see you both get choked up about still not being able to move on with life as you knew it. It is tough for all of us but knowing we’re all in this doesn’t make anyone feel better. I pray restrictions are lifted for you soon.

  • J. Thorn

    I have followed you since you were on HGTV looking for your first RV. At the time I thought you guys wouldn’t last at it for 3 years. Obviously, I was wrong. We are part time RVers and have passed you on the road a couple times and even were in the same RV park at one time.

    I thought you were crazy when you decided to sail. I was wrong again.

    I know it has been a rough time for you guys the last few months. But, because you have chosen to serve others, you have made it a positive experience. I believe you are being led by a higher power and will be blessed immeasurably. I don’t know if you are believers, but God is surely using you. You have inspired me.

    Blessings to you both.

Not everyone can point to a thing in their life and say, I know I really made a difference here for this person. You can hold on to that forever. You made a difference. I hope you feel empowered and find it healing. These are hard times, and I’m sorry you’re so far from your floating home.

  • Andy & Shelly Potvin

    We felt your pain in this video, and cried along with you in the last segment. We’re in a very similar boat (pardon the pun), so I wanted to reach out and tell you about another amazing life you’ve saved—my wife’s. The two of you do more good than you might realize.

    Shelly, was diagnosed with a severe, untreatable form of clinical depression. I won’t go into details, but it has a ridiculously high suicide rate, and I was put on suicide watch by her psychiatrist the moment it was diagnosed. No medications worked, and life was bleak. Then I found you two, and things changed. That was about five years ago.

    I introduced her to your videos and we have been dedicated viewers from the beginning. Your videos found a way through the armour of her depression and would make her smile where nothing else could. It gave me the idea to try living the life you were advocating, and to take her on the road to experience the adventure and wonder you two were sharing with us. And it worked.

    We have been full-time in our RV for three-and-a-half years now, and all traces of the depression have disappeared. Much of that is because you two made an effort to share your lives with strangers. Your adventures, both happy and sad, have saved two lives, one literally.

    Please hang in there and know that you have our eternal gratitude for all that you do. Thank you so very much.

    Nikki and Jason, a great first step to success and hopefully lasting help for Mark. Thanks for putting it in motion and making it possible!

    I don’t know about others, but I would like to know in more detail why you can’t get back to Tonga at this time. Is Tonga still locked up to the world right now? I am currently in Germany and we can move freely within Europe and beyond. There are travel warnings in place regarding travel to certain countries like the USA, Spain, parts of Turkey and numerous countries outside the EU, but no travel restrictions or outright ban. For those who return from a “risk country”, there is mandatory testing at the port of entry and quarantine until the result is known.

    Stay healthy!
    Bernard

    reply
    • Curious Minion

      The Tongan border is still closed to non-residents, and they have only just begun a program to repatriate their own citizens who have been stranded outside the country. Tonga just doesn’t have the medical resources to deal with a pandemic and so are being extra-cautious to prevent any outbreaks. Even in countries like Australia & New Zealand which had the outbreak under control, opening their borders has brought a resurgence of cases and they’ve had to re-impose restrictions. Tonga is watching these other countries and has apparently decided that the risk is too great at the moment.

    reply
    • Curious Minion

      They liked it so much that 2 of the 3 toilets aboard Curiosity are composting toilets. It is a bit more of a hassle of course but the ability to extend their boondocking time was worth it.

    Fellow Texan here. The videos y’all post are an escape for many who cannot leave their reality. It is taxing and unsettling when what we plan and hope to do is changed by things that are out of our control. I’ve been a first responder for almost 20 years now, and have unfortunately been there when many people of all ages have breathe their last breath. It taught me to seize each day because we never know what tomorrow or even this afternoon has in store. Each trial makes us stronger if we choose to learn from it. As many Christian authors say, “it’s the battle of mindset”. We do our best to help each other and be a blessing but in the end I rest in what Jesus said, “take heart, for I have overcome the world….” the big battle is Jesus’ and He won, so it’s my job to be a light in darkness. The same as you both are to the many who cannot escape their current situations due to the virus or any number of reasons. There’s a reason Brodie from YBS Youngblood’s has such a huge following and his channel has blown up during COVID, escape.
