Story

Hi,

Thanks for visiting my page!


In summer 2009, I plan to climb Kilimanjaro (all 19,340 feet of it!), in aid of COCO (Comrades Of Children Overseas). It's a fantastic charity based in Newcastle, doing amazing work to make a massive difference to the lives of children living in poverty throughout the developing world. Founded in 2000, by Olympic athlete Steve Cram and British Army Officer Jim Panton, the Charity has raised over £1.2 million since it began.

Anybody who knows me, knows that I love a challenge and love anything to do with climbing any form of mountain, even if this one is a bit bigger than what I am used to!

So please donate all that you can, its for a great charity and even more importantly a fantastic cause.

Thanks,

Mark

Quiz Night Update!

On the 17th of April, I held a quiz night in my local village hall in Norfolk. The night was a great success, and a lot of fun was had by all. Thank you for all the teams that took part, your support was much appreciated and I hope you enjoyed yourselves!

Overall I managed to raise a very impressive £433!

A massive thanks has to go to my mum and Jenny, as without their hardwork the night would have not been as big a success.

Thanks to everyone who came,

Mark
