DetecTogether

Saving lives through early cancer detection

DetecTogether’s history started as a business relationship when Jim Coghlin Sr., a business leader and philanthropist, met Mark Ungerer. Jim and Mark quickly became the closest of friends. When Mark’s son, David, battled Leukemia, Jim felt his pain. David Ungerer died of cancer at 15 years-old. In his son’s memory, Mark founded a golf tournament in Central Massachusetts to support cancer research and care, and he ran it for many years. Ten years after David died, Mark himself received a cancer diagnosis. Mark told Jim that he would likely die before Jim did, and asked him to run the tournament if that happened. Mark died in 1995, and Jim made sure the golf tournament continued as an annual event to raise funds and awareness about cancer and renamed it in Mark’s honor.
