John Mara, the 70-year-old president, chief executive officer and co-owner of the Giants, has recently been diagnosed with cancer.  

He is undergoing treatment, according to a statement he released Monday afternoon.

“I have recently been diagnosed with cancer and have been following the treatment plan recommended by an outstanding team of doctors,’’ Mara’s statement said.  “I’m feeling strong and optimistic, and I’m committed to seeing this through to a positive outcome. I plan to remain active with the team throughout my treatment, and I’m fortunate to be surrounded by incredible support—personally, professionally, and medically. I ask that you respect my privacy and my family’s privacy at this time.”

The type of cancer Mara has and the stage and severity of the diagnosis were not revealed at this time.

Mara is the oldest son of the late Wellington Mara, a franchise patriarch, whose own father, Tim, purchased the franchise for $500 in 1925. 
 

John Mara has a law degree from Fordham University Law School and worked as a labor and employment lawyer and litigator prior to joining the Giants in 1991. He became the team president in 2005 following his father’s death.

I don’t expect you to know this but there are 11 Maras that are owners of the team.

Why?  You want people to drop out of life if they get cancer? 

Oh boy, you should be his doctor.
