My story

 

The Mark Jane Fund

(Please scroll to end page for fundraising events/updates)

This is a Remembrance Fund set up by Mark's family and work colleagues to pay a living and lasting memorial to Mark.  I am Mark's friend and Manager and have had the good fortune and pleasure to work with him for the last eleven years. 

Mark  was 43 years old and sadly passed away on 25th June 2007.  Mark was cared for by the staff at  UCH Hospital and the National Hospital at Queens Square since the time he was diagnosed with a brain tumour.  His family would like to thank all the staff involved in Mark's care.  Mark was a loyal family man who was open about his love for his partner Sharon and his children Leigh and Lauren.  He liked the simple pleasures in life, a nice cup of tea, a well cooked full English breakfast, the seaside, a night in watching a film, cinema, a relaxing day fishing,  all music but particularly Queen, watching the footie and other sports. Mark was an avid support of Chelsea FC...  He was fascinated and knowledgeable about all things sci-fi and astronomy and loved his model space craft "Nostromo" which had prime position on his desk alongside his Chelsea FC mascot.

Mark was a great bloke.  He worked as Deputy Manager at a large doctor's out of hours service based in central london.  He worked extremely hard in his job,  was a loyal colleague and good friend.  He had a great sense of humour and could make us all laugh however fed-up or tired we were.  He was able to show kindness and empathy to his staff and colleagues and was a fantastic support to everyone.  We will all deeply  miss him but have wonderful  personal memories of him.

We hope we can continue fundraising by encouraging friends and colleagues to volunteer for charity events in aid of Mark's Fund.  

Jason  Barnes, a friend of my family is running the London Marathon in April 2009,  on behalf of Mark's Remembrance Fund and the Brain Research Trust.   Jason has to raise a minimum of £2,000 to secure his place, so please help by donating via Mark's page in support.

We all wish Jason every success and will be cheering him on. 

Mark's fund has now raised over £5,000 for the Brain Research Trust which is a great tribute to Mark.

Please re-visit this page for updates on further fundraising activities for Marks' fund.

Thank you for visiting and donating to  Mark's Remembrance page.  We know Mark would have been proud to have such a worthwhile fund set up in his honour and memory.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to donate: Brain Research Trust will receive your money electronically and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in Gift Aid will be added to your donation at no cost to you.

Many thanks for your support.
