BAKERSFIELD, Calif. — President Donald Trump sent a special message of inspiration to our very own David Marcus, also known as: Mr. Bakersfield.
Marcus has battled cancer five times, serving as a inspiration for others while offering his signature "Thumps up, Cancer down."
This week, David made the decision to go into hospice care and Congressman Kevin McCarthy sharing David's story with President Trump.
Check out the special message blow:
This is for my friend David Marcus, who is battling cancer. Thank you @POTUS for encouraging him in his fight. Go David! 👍🏼 pic.twitter.com/hzrjxOHJVt
