Mark Bowen is the coroner for Richmond County, Georgia and for the last 10 months, he has been balancing treatment for Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma with his work for the county.

“I had to do six treatments of chemo, 21 days apart. The only days I really missed were the days I was on chemo because it was so long. The rest of the time I was here. I’d go to radiation for 10 minutes a day and I would be right back in the office. I didn’t want to be away from my job. It kept me busy. This is what we do for the community."
