Created June 11th, 2026

Our brother, NYPD Detective Michael Marra, needs our help.

​For 18 years, Detective Marra has dedicated his life to protecting and serving the people of New York City. Throughout his distinguished career, he has worn many hats—serving with pride in the 73 Precinct, the 76 Precinct, the Candidate Assessment Division, and most recently, utilizing his expertise in the Detective Bureau’s Latent Print Section.

​Michael has always been the guy we could count on. Now, he and his family are facing the toughest investigation of their lives.

​Michael was recently diagnosed with Stage 3 Colon Cancer.

​The road ahead is going to be incredibly grueling. His treatment plan includes 4 months of aggressive, high-intensity chemotherapy, followed by radiation and major surgery. Because of this intense medical battle, Michael will be unable to work or pull the overtime that so many of us rely on to support our households.

​Beyond being a dedicated detective, Michael is a husband and a father to four beautiful children.

"I know firsthand how much the support of brothers and sisters matters during a medical crisis. When I went through my own illness, the generosity of others took a massive weight off my shoulders. It gave me one less thing to worry about so I could focus entirely on healing. I want to give that exact same peace of mind to Michael."


​How Your Donation Helps

​While Michael fights the physical battle, the bills don't stop. We want to ensure that finances are the last thing on his mind. Every dollar raised will go directly toward:

  • ​Medical co-pays, deductibles, and specialized exams.
  • ​Daily living expenses and bills while he is unable to work overtime.
  • ​Supporting his wife and four kids during this incredibly stressful transition.

​No amount is too small. If you cannot donate, please consider sharing this page with your networks, your commands, and your communities.

​Let’s come together as a blue family and a community to show Michael, his wife, and his kids that they are absolutely not alone in this fight.

Thank you for backing our brother. Stay strong, Mike—we’ve got your back.
