We asked you to help us make a ruckus, so a dying man could get home to his wife. 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.
WHO ARE WE?
We’re Jason and Nikki Wynn. We been living #OffTheGrid and exploring the world for almost a decade.
Our first six years of #travel were an epic road trip around North America.
Now we’re on a #sailing voyage about the world. Did we have any previous sailing experience, of course not!
Neither of us is overly talented, smart, rich, lucky, or retired. But that doesn’t stop us from reaching far-flung destinations, having wild adventures, and managing everything that makes living aboard a moving vessel possible.
We’re two ordinary people that just so happen to live an extraordinary life.
Because... Life is an adventure!
Extraordinary moments out there for anyone willing, and wanting, to go after it. Ya know life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
And this is why we publish our lives on the world wide web. We share in hopes of inspiring you to find your adventure.
Shared with LOVE 💕

Final Update: GREAT NEWS about Mark, check it out here czcams.com/video/Nu24c3-3EAQ/video.html
We did it everyone! Thanks for helping us make a Rukus. Cheers 🍻
This one was particularly special as your channel spread a word on behalf of Mark.... I saw the call but didn’t catch the sequel...
cool for Mark. Gives him hope.
And I know you did get back to your boat, cleaned and fixed it up, and splashed and got to voyage with Cyril.
🇳🇿🇳🇿🐑🐑🤗🤗
Let’s give props to AstraZeneca to hearing this story and being willing to help. It would have been easy for them to be a big soulless corporation and just flat out say no. Instead they’re showing compassion and empathy for a truly awesome person. And if and when they actually pull through, and Mark has medication in hand, as a community we should bombard them with thank you notes!
Sean Mather --> My friend, I couldn't agree with you more. Every point you made is spot on !!!!!
Yes! Many cogs make the wheel. Where can we send personal notes of thanks to AZ?
AZ thanks for stepping up.
Well said! The #hashtag brigade should spread the word of their compassion. Its all to easy to forget the good once it has been dispensed. Thank you AZ!
I totally agree.... All I can say is Let's stop allowing citizens of the world to die because of money.
It's bararic, it's inhuman, it's evil, and just plan and simple fucking crazy.
Governments and policymakers are at the heart of all this .
Mark is so jovial even when his crew leaves gross party favors in the dinghy! I love that man, and you two for trying to help him.
I always knew them as pavement pizzas, but that doesn't work in a dinghy so I shall file away your 'party favor' for future use and hope I never need to use it
😂
We are so stoked for Mark to have some good news from AstraZeneca. Together we may have changed his life...and that is such an incredible thing to think about. 🤯
*It's Monday morning in Fiji and I just received a message from Mark* : _Thank you all for everything!!! Blood-work is going forward and hopefully scans this afternoon. I am pretty nervous because it's my first scan in over 1 year. I Just had a friend from OZ call. He saw your video and he is interested in purchasing Millennium. You all have changed my whole life again, I feel sooo motivated!_ 🕺🏼🙏🏻
We will continue to update everyone as things progress. As Nikki says in the video we can call the dogs off, but we'll keep 'em ready! 💪🏻
If you have no idea who Mark Paarman is, or what Millennium is, or why we're helping this ol' surfer dude, then watch this: czcams.com/video/hTlFAZr5xEg/video.html
Congrats!! What a great accomplishment.. Hopefully your luck starts turning as well and you are soon home
God bless Mark, and bless the Wynns for making a huge difference! Keep us posted please! ❤🙏❤
Yay!
Dynamite, you guys rock.
This might now have been the story we wanted, but it’s the ending WE NEEDED! Kudos to you and your community pull to help Mark out!
God bless and god speed Mark!
I have been SO greatly blessed in that my chemo is financially available to me. Praise God for the amazing blessings Mark has received.
Gone with the Wynns bucket list: Save a life .....CHECK
Don't forget bringing clean drinking water to a remote Fiji village 😊 Together we can move mountains!!!
I hope he doesn't sell the boat... Keep going!
Saving all kinds of lives...(plural)...let's not forget Pip & Animals Fiji!
SUPER comment! Probably the best I have ever seen. As they say in Oz. "Good onya mate"
When tempests rage, and dark clouds gather, heroes are those who see a need, dive in and rescue another. Well Done! Nikki and Jason, you are the faces of a hero-community.
well said bud ...
Well said Paul, could not have said better myself.
So True
It was no mistake that you were both stranded in Fiji with your boat in Tonga. Fate have you had you both cross paths with Mark to help a man in dire straits. Very inspirational, thank you and take care guys.
Why isn't this channel already have over 1 million subs with the quality content? Unbelievable.
And quality content not a boob and flash show but a channel with beautiful scenery, sea life, attitudes, people and stories.
@@Gamecockinnc1 😊💘
Without you being stuck in Fiji, you would’ve never met and been able to help Mark. So Nikki, I felt your emotion over not being able to get to Tonga, but just think of how huge an impact you are making on his life all bc you’re stuck. ❤️
Well said ..... I call them "holy intervention"
God always has a plan and them helping Mark led to time passing and actions being taken.
Yes, yes - I had the same thought! It is funny how life can work out some times. It might not go the way you think you want it to go... but then in hind-sight, you end up being so happy it went the way it did. Meeting Mark (and helping with drinking water!) hopefully makes up for the difficult times. Thanks for staying positive in tough times and continuing to improve this wonderful world!!
Indeed - there is a reason for everything and angels I guess even come with a Texan drawl!!! Be happy guys - hugs from NS
“A hero is an ordinary individual who finds the strength to persevere and endure in spite of overwhelming obstacles.” -- Christopher Reeve
Superman's life mattered
Just think, if you had been in Tonga at this time, Mark would not have had the help you got for him. Sometimes its about the other people. You might find all your pathways open up now that you have achieved this lovely task. It can't be fun all the time and showing us your down moments means you are keeping it real. Big love to you both xxx
Great job!! Keep it up and stay free and safe.
So true. Of all the horrors that came out of covid, lots of good things happened because of it too.
It’s nothing short of amazing that you both have been able to help Mark out with this community. This is why CZcams is great, it allows for creators like you with a good heart to be where you are and do good things for the world! Awesome! 👏🏼😊
😭😭 tears of happiness and hope that his scans give him and his doctors what is needed to continue his treatments. The power of hope, goodwill and love powered by you two! My heart breaks for you that you can’t get to your home. I wish our power of support we did for Mark, would work for Tonga to let you get to your home! Love you, as always stay safe! Hugs to you Mark💕💕💕💕
That says it all! Old British bloke here, also tearful and happy! It gets to everyone. Well done AstraZenica, The Wynns & community. Very emotional
EASY AND QUICK CURE FOR TERMINAL LUNG CANCER
Whoever has terminal lung cancer need not worry. He just has to pray to Yashua Mashiyach (Jesus Christ to many) for healing and that's it!
He does not have to buy very expensive medicines and should not, especially pharmaceutical drugs. He can be healed in 8-90 days, depending on the availability of the right foods.
If he wants to heal immediately, he can go on a strictly vegetarian diet, eating mostly green leafy vegetables and not too sweet fruits, which, for convenience in eating, may be juiced or blendered.
Or he can take the easier but longer way out, eating a little occasional fish or meat, but definitely no soft drinks or artificial juice drinks.
He may drink red or dark grape wine before breakfast and before supper, if he wants red wine.
Cancer germs feed on sugar and protein in fish, meat, eggs and milk. Avoid beans. Bad mood and negative emotions makes the disease worse. A happy, contented life stops or slows down the progress of the disease.
Cancer germs breed on acidic tissues and acidic blood (actually not technically acidic but one that is less alkaline because if the body is acidic or pH=
@@toymak3275 That's EXTREMELY dangerous and bad advice! Prayer does nothing, cancer germs don't exist, there is no quick & easy cure, advising people to stop taking prescribed medicine is immoral and should be illegal. Shame on you!
Love you Mark!
We sooo wish we could get Tonga to listen but they are deathly afraid of COVID and unwilling to budge. We have contacted every govt agency in Tonga and Fiji, tourism boards, us consulates, lawyers, and...and...and.
Still nothing but generic responses from all agencies. :(
Why in heck doesn’t this awesome channel have a million plus subscribers? Let’s all share this channel with family & friends.
I always think the same thing!
I really don't care about hair cuts and felt like the news I wanted to hear was used as bait to make me watch the rest.
@@donc2446 - Take it to the 'Complaint Manager', Helen Waite.
@@flawdanative3223 good point. I was responding to the question: why aren't there more subscribers. Otherwise I would have kept it to myself.
Midway just dud on FB
I hope Mark receives the medicine he needs and that life-saving drugs become affordable to all!
A GREAT BIG SHOUT OUT TO ALL THE PEOPLE THAT CARE WITH ANY RESOURCE THEY CAN. GOD BLESS EACH AND EVERY ONE
The power of community and AstraZeneca making such a kind gesture, well done to them.
Wow..Mark....this man..has touched hearts worldwide in such a beautiful way. He has inspired those who were losing hope to continue on..he has restored our hope in mankind...he has proven to us that you can pursue your dreams no matter your age ..or even health!! He has such a beautiful spirit and positive attitude. I am a firm believer that there are no consequences in life....I see a million examples of that in the paths crossing of Mark and Nikki and Jason....and all of us. What this “story” has meant to each person. It shines a light into the darkness that many have been feeling during Covid. But Covid..brought us all here together. Whatever situation you are facing..we never know what sweet miracles are just around the corner. Nikki and Jason..stuck in Fiji away from their home..Mark there unable to get to his wife...a lot of us confined to our homes..binge watching The Wynn’s..all of it brought us here together to witness this intersection of beautiful souls! And Nikki and Jason...no apologies needed for your display of emotions...we love you even more because of it!!! Thank you for sharing this story and for everything you did to help Mark. Sorry for rambling..just soo touched by all of it!!💕💕💕💕🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
🙏💙💛💙
Amen to that! ♥️ Thank you for saying so eloquently what everyone was thinking.
Sherree Harris Binge Watching for our Mental Health 💗🤞🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽for all of you to get home as soon as possible.
I enjoy that Mark appears to be more than comfortable with Nikki at the helm of his 67 ton vessel . And Jason on deck positioning an extra fender to protect that vessel . Makes me smile .
"If you feel like the mountain is impossible to climb, just know you are not alone" powerful words near the end there Jason.
Who would give this a thumbs down?? I'm in tears. Thank you everyone who reached out to AstraZeneca and thank you Wynns for using your platform. ♥️
Some soulless A..Hole my guess
The Wynns and AZ ❤️🤞🏽Marks blood test and Scan goes well quick action thank you utube People
I thumb up for the video
There are times when you have an opportunity to be a factor in someone else's life, and you two did not turn your eyes away from that but rather stepped up and stepped in to help. The world needs more of that, thank you for giving the rest of us chance to help as well in whatever ways we were able to give.
Have have been feeling really down lately. Today by bicycle broke on the way home from work and I was struggling to fix it. All of a sudden a houseless man stopped and helped be right as his subway was coming. He help me and jumped on the train. All I had time to do was to say "Thank You.". I hope to see him again so I can get him a meal.
Great job Nikki & Jason! You're not only helping a wonderful man, you're also raising awareness about a very fundamental problem of our healthcare industry. Doctors and pharmas are only in it for the money. There is no limit on how much they can charge for their products and services, especially for those that are either uninsured or self-insured.
You guys are aloud to be human, No matter the why or how the true fans will never judge.
WOW! Tears of absolute joy for dear Mark! And to you two, you are just incredible . Please keep your chins up. Of course I don't know you but , I love you two to the moon and back. OOXXX
Here here ! - its the full spectrum of colours that make life's rich tapestry and some of your down moments have gifted us Gumption to takeaway 🤗 - we have taken on some of our own repairs in lockdown after watching you guys search "how to" videos and facing the challenge - crawling in a hot attic space was far more doable after watching jason grapple with frustrating repairs in tropical heat (even if we had added squirrel poop 🙈) PS Im not a big drinker but One look at that hangover palour @ 4:38 is enough to put you off excess for life 🤢🤮😝😃
@@hennagal7360 I agree that _"hangover palour"_ is rather painful to see. Those TV booze adverts from years ago only showed the fun part.
ITS YOUR HOME SO BE AS SAD AS YOU WANT TO BE! PEOPLE KEEP FORGETTING A SAILBOAT IS MORE THAN JUST A SAILBOAT
@@BrassLock too true👍🏻
Words fail me - simply remarkable...🇨🇦💕
In one of the most miserable years on a global scale known to most people living in the world just now, the Wynns' videos have been a beacon of hope and happiness. Jason & Nikki have produced probably the best news I've seen this year, several times over. Others have listed their massive achievements elsewhere - cat, water, beach cleaning etc. This latest success - and it *IS* already a success - is blindingly brighter than anything else that has happened this year. AstraZenica and the Gone With The Wynns community have, at the very least, given hope to several hundred thousand people with, hopefully, Mark at the forefront of that. I hope the scans turn out well, Mark.
Jason and Nikki have more than enough reason to be more miserable than most of us trapped as they are away from their home for many months, excluding those badly affected by Covid19 and their relatives, of course, and yet look at what they have achieved! Enormous success. Massive kudos Jason & Nikki
This is the very reason that I have followed you guys! When everything is falling down around you, your light is shining and it’s the love that you guys bring that makes tomorrow a brighter day! Thanks for everything! Keep the faith that it’s your time to get home to your boat soon!
forrest johnson agree they are a Blessing
Mark! We’re with you in our hearts.
This and the last video are some of the most powerful and genuine videos I’ve ever watched on CZcams. You guys are amazing. Thank you so much for restoring hope for everyone.
💖To Nikki & Jason for saving another lost soul. 👍To all of the people who wrote AZ. 🙌To AZ for contacting Mark 🤞 To hoping the Mark can get what he needs to get home to be with his family & friends.
I felt your tears, I feel your pain, I know it is not easy being without your home. Thank you for sharing Mark's story and I hope your story comes to a place where getting back on your home is soon. You are an amazing couple and I pray that you will get home soon, but also bringing more stories to life to those of us in the US and beyond. Blessings. 😎🏄🏻♀️🏄🏻♂️👍🏻
Thank you so much! 🙏🏻
@@gonewiththewynns How did his tests go?
Out of adversity comes opportunity. You two have managed to do more because of a global pandemic. Couldn't of been easy but you look back fondly on this time.
The Wynn's are stuck in Fiji. Instead of feeling self pity, they rescued a cat, raised money for the local animal rescue. They helped locals with fresh water. Now they have helped a friend with some expensive, life saving drugs. You two are truly inspirational. I truly hope you guys can get home soon.
The man that everybody wishes was their father, the man everybody should aspire to be more like.
My Mother would have said "Those Wynns are just earning their way into heaven" the highest accolade!!! You are just making the world a better place. Thanks Wynns!!!
Sweet
My Mum says... you're taking your sandals to Heaven because of what you've done here. You're going barefoot! Non-stop!
See, this is how it happens. You start out helping that kitten in Fiji and now you are major do-gooders!
Thanks for connecting us all. Keep it up!
If you had been on your boat, you wouldn't have met Mark, and you just saved that man's life. Blessings!
I hope it works out with the medication and the company that owns it. It is just too sad to think of so many people suffering because of cost of medication and healthcare. I have good insurance through my husbands work. My insurance company just does not want to pay for my treatments for a rare autoimmune disease that effects my breathing muscle. Certain medications and treatments are thousands and thousand of dollars. I just stopped IVIG infusions. They cost my insurance a whole lot of money plus cost us 389 a month. We sure can not afford that on top of the the 40+ thousand we owe 3 hospitals near us already. There are so many with cancer or needing a transplant that can not get treatment because of cost. The last thing my insurance did was say we met deductible but not out of pocket expense. We were told that is bull and not right. Thank you for doing what you do.
You’re amazing people... during this time that you’ve been denied return to your home, you’ve made such a difference in the lives of others... plus one sweet cat!
I am so glad that Mark’s path crossed into your path!
I am a lurker, veteran, sailor, hard nosed although as I get older that changes. I know loss, fuck cancer. You highlight a problem in a world that has never created as much wealth yet people are so much poorer in soul. However you have done a beautiful thing here. Bravo Zulu, naval code flags for well done. Mark, you are a fucking legend. Until Valhalla big man. You demonstrate spirit in everything you do. Nicky and Jason don’t be so hard on yourselves, go easy, the sea is a very hard mistress but she will welcome you back soon. A journey at sea may have a beginning but she will decide its nature. End. Patrick Childress RIP.
Emotional ???? NO KIDDING !!! Proud of your community ??? Wynns........ WE ARE SOOOOO PROUD OF YOU !!!~ 🖖👏 ⛵️ God has you stranded there and He turns negative into good. There is always a reason. My gosh, guys, you are becoming philanthropists !!! Always heart-warming to see people with influence do good things in the world. ❤️😎🏄🏻♀️👍🏻🖖👏 ⛵️❤️
Thank u for recognizing Mark needed help/support even though he said I'll b out of drugs and "that's it". As someone who has been in the cancer fight since my early 20s, u sometimes dont have the energy left to fight paperwork, insurance, set up doctor appointments, scans, labs etc. AND fight the disease! Thank u so so much to u and everyone for helping. Mark just looks so much better! A definite glow about him. 😊🤩🥰🥰🥰 Stay Safe
Reminds me of the saying “There was a man who complained about having no shoes, until he met the man who had no feet.”
This global community that Nikki & Jason have created is truly powerful, loving and kind. Like Nikki said: Power to the people!
Marks accent, appearance and the fact he restored this boat all on his own made him remind me of Leo from Sampson Boat co and how much they resemble each other! - minus the cancer part, knock on wood
"When I grow up I want to save peoples life and be able to cut my beautiful wife's hair"...
Well done N & J, thank you for sharing. Buen Camino.
YOU GUYS WERE PUT IN THE RIGHT PLACE AT EXACTLY THE RIGHT TIME!!!
What a heartwarming story..Mark is a lovely humble being and I'm so happy that he's getting the help that he needs. Well done for caring and taking the time to help an other human being in need..you have single handedly restored my faith in humanity..God bless you 🙏
So...can we bombard the Tongan government now to let you home?? Seems only fair considering all the good you guys have done while stuck. Also, all the happy tears for Mark and the excitement and anticipation of what’s to come and for the life he gets to keep living! And then sad tears because times are hard right now...they really are but it helps so much to know we ALL aren’t alone in that! So amazing to see the kindness in humanity in this Gone With The Wynn’s community! THANK YOU! 💚
14:30 No words to express the gratitude for your message. It hit me right in the gut. thank you so much.
we need that gut thing some times wakes us out heart..
Again. I’ll say that your bad luck in being stuck in FIJI was for a reason. You’ve saved and touched so many 2 and 4 footed lives. It’s just so inspirational. Thanks from Boston 🇺🇸
99999janice not saying it to be pedantic, but it’s Fiji, I’m sure if you changed it you’ll get a 💓 from the Wynns 😊
Tania C hehehe. Thanks
The political nastiness and hatred gets in the way of the importance of this right here-you can help and/or be helped regardless of politics. There is a way to get along... Good job you two.
good for mark he seems like he has such good energy the world needs him here longer
The attitudes of you three are inspirational. Nikki was right on the money when she talked about how this story and the response that followed gives one hope for humanity. Unfortunately, I don’t have the same hope for Mark’s dinghy.
😆
You were the right people, in the right place, at the right time. Destiny.
Great news about Mark- thank you for the opportunity to be a part of the ruckus. Thanks for keeping the videos positive. I know you are both in a rough situation, keep your chin up and focus on the incredible difference you’ve made while in Fiji.
Not all medical professionals are equal, so I hope with all my heart that additional consultations will find someone who can do far more for Mark than delay imminent death.
I lost my own beloved brother to cancer when he was only 47 years young and his life was ended by it within six months of diagnosis.
My brother was originally a university trained Horticulturalist who returned to Uni and became a Registered Nurse after we lost both his in-laws one of whom was an eminent physician and surgeon.
We also lost an aunt to cancer and a lifelong friend is currently fighting for his life.
My brother went back to Uni and became a Nurse so he could do more to help people only to lose his own life to the same vile disease that inspired him to switch to a medical career.
A man as cheerfully eloquent of defiant optimism, enthusiastic energy and zest for life as Mark deserves all the help others can give.
Bless you all.
I love how you have turned a crappy situation into a giving endeavor, whether its rescuing a kitty, providing water sources to a community or saving a life, clearly this is your mission at the moment. You have touched so many lives and give us all hope in humanity during these challenging times. Thank you
This is good news. You two are two amazing kind hearted people. I'm so glad Mark met you two. I love y'all. Prayers for Mark & the two of you. Have a wonderful week & God bless you all. 💛💜🌊⛵🤗
Mark is the best of humanity and deserves all the help he gets, which I hope is an extended stay in the green room!
Mark don't ever give up! As a 4 year survivor of Leukemia I understand his fight. You guys were meant to meet him and what an awesome thing y'all helped to make happen for him! No bigger gift than the gift of life and he lives it so well. 🏄🏄♀️😇❣️
This is such awesome news to hear. I woke earlier than I wanted on a Sunday morning, just to hear this news! What an awesome way to meet the morning. Thank you for telling Mark's story, and keeping yours real. Love and high hopes for us all.
So proud to be one of the many, happy to have caused a ruckus.
God has a way of putting certain people in our paths, and we might think that they enter our path too "save" us..., but He has His ways that perhaps allows us to become the Hands & Feet of Him!
How does it feel to be Angles on Earth!?
(I've been blessed to have had a few of these experiences in my own life! It gives us a feeling of Why we exist here on Earth.)
Take the time to enjoy it & rejoice in this feeling!
God bless y'all for listening to your hearts, and stepping forward to help Mark!
Walter amen Walter..I love seeing who God places in our path
“I cried because I had no shoes until I met a man who had no feet”
This quote is attributed to many people, from Hellen Keller to Shakespeare, so I am not sure of the source.
I love how you continue to smile while navigating these epic times. I just watched a tribute to one of your fellow live-a-board community sailors, that has passed away, Patrick Childress and was enlightened by one of his philosophies. "The only difference between Adventure and Adversity is Attitude ". You two possess that attitude. Never lose it! Fair winds and following seas.
This sounds like promising news guys! So glad to be part of the support community for Mark, and rattling that drug company's cage. Let's hope they follow through when Mark meets all their requirements.
All the angst we all feel right now is lightened by being able to help someone as cool as Mark. I love Cape Town.
Jason and Nikki, you guys are amazing! Just since the pandemic stranded you in Fiji you've helped fund a pet shelter, distributed water filters to folks in need, and helped introduce Mark, his passion and health issues. You've also put a spotlight on his boat for sale and show your own passions and interests. Great work!
So glad to see that they listened 'God bless everyone that took the time to write
I am beyond delighted that AZ has responded so generously to our letters and communications with them! This was the first time I have ever been moved to reach out via CZcams on someone’s behalf, and it is all thanks to you sweet folks! Thank God for you. I think besides the fact that you take us along on your amazing journeys, you are so selfless and inspired, you may have found an additional calling! You documented this man’s life and needs perfectly! Thank you SO so much! God bless you,and God bless Mark!
Hey you guyz, on behalf of the woof woof crew. Now i know I'm speaking for all your subscribers right now. But glad we could help him out a little. Aohhhh lol( my best dog impression Nikki 😆). Be well & safe my friends. 🖖
A BIG THANK YOU TO AZ!
that was a 3 masted schooner, I love schooners,
Happy Wynnsday everyone! Sounds like the start of a happy ending for Mark's much needed prescription woes.
Now if CZcams will get their act together and fix notifications and stop the demonetization of videos nonsense....
Amen to that!
Bless you Nikki and Jason .
If there were no lockdown, you wouldn’t have met Mark ! Keep up the good work, sharing your lives with us, and helping the world to be a be a little better whenever and wherever you can. You two are the best !
You two are such an inspiration to a 85 year old who can no longer do the things you do! God bless you.
My eyes are all wet, you did it guys. All the best to Mark, greetings from Denmark
Thank you to Astro Z! This segment has really been touching! I hope that you guys keep in touch with Mark and his progress. I am sure you will. I still wanted to donate, so if there is a Go Fund Me, or a link that you guys supply, please let us know!
Everything happens for a Reason! If you’d not been stranded inFiji, would you have been able to have met and helped Mark.....!? I applaud your efforts! 👏 😎🏖🌴☀️🇦🇺
And that's exactly what I like most about you two. You stay classy, smiling and true.
You do this because you believe that we, your audience, deserve only the best - no matter how you are doing in reality. You talk about it, but you stay classy - and that is extremely inspiring, especially for people who are going through a deep emotional process.
your message: stay true, stay honest and look at the positive. Thanks a lot!
I really do miss your sailing adventures and wait baited with anticapation of the video that returns you to your boat, but OMG! These last several months for the two of you have been increadible, and the lives you have touched because of the quarartine is really something special.
Your on the correct side of this guidance. "If a man's words should exceed his deeds verily his death is better than his life." Thanks my brave souls.
Despite that you are away from your beloved house boat you have been in Fiji for a high reason. You are two Angels that the higher one give a mission. You are helping Mark achieve his wish. You are a blessing and sooner than later you will be also blessed and your problem will be solved. 🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏😘😘😘
This is the video I waited all week for.
So pleased to see the ruckus that we all caused helped Mark get on the road to having the help that he so desperately needed. And Nikki & Jason...it’s the trials you’ve faced & finding yourself “struck” that has led you to meet Mark. Somethings are just meant to happen. Angels sent from heaven. Admiration to you both for listening to the call ❤️
I was diagnosed with spinal cord cancer and given six months to live too..... I cried at my kitchen table for six weeks and then gave everything away sold my house and went to Southeast Asia. Life is not easy but he who said it was going to be… Peace and love
To the Wynns,
Allow me to thank you and praise you for what you have done for mMark. I have been following you for some time and I was so touch by your unselfish gesture of helping Mark. May God be with you always in all your travels and endeavors. God bless. Stay safe.
"Power to the people." Well said and well done. I wish so many others could see the reason for hope that your work continues to exemplify. It was not a coincidence that you met Mark as there is always someone who can use help in this crazy time. Thank you both for your efforts and we pray for his continued recovery. Nothing is guaranteed but without your effort to tell the story and motivate others to get help started, it might have been a very different story. Go have some fun....
Awesome, awesome, awesome. No words to describe how great the power of social media is. Keep you heads up, do it for Mark, and enjoy the good time with him!
God is good all the time...He doesn't make mistakes...He makes good people, God bless you all and especially Mark.
Way to go guys. Give yourselves a pat on the back. A truly amazing result to actually get a pharmaceutical company to help a stranger in need. Well done to all that made it happened. 👏👏
What a great soul Mark is. He seems to always have a smile on, no matter what. Love him and absolutely wish him the best. If you find out how things went for him please share with us. Ya know I was thinking about the situation you guys are in, being away from Curiosity for this amount of time, you guys are gonna have to take a refresher course on how to sail, lol. Take care, God bless and keep you safe. Jay from Pa.
oh man, the boat will need so much work after sitting for a year or more and we'll need to do some easy sails to get our 'sea legs' back. 😱
Things can't be going as well for those two as they make it seem. So, it's great they project a cheery attitude, their separation from their boat must be costing them a fortune and who knows what's happening to it. Such a shame, they really got hit with bad luck.
Their bad luck saved someone's life
God, the universe, whatever you want to call it.... you were guided to Mark... I, and I'm sure so many of us, are so genuinely grateful for that! I'm stuck away from home (Eswatini, next door to S.A), I know how hard that is and i appreciate you sharing your situation and your pain, frustration and sadness. It's amazing to see the strong community spirit. Thank you for keeping hope alive 😁
God bless you both for stepping in the gap where God wanted you. Keep us posted.
