Story
On 27 May 2015 Mark experienced a life-changing injury. He had felt some minor back pain for about a week, much like hundreds of thousands of people, then on leaning back and twisting to pick something up, he suffered an intervertebral disc hernia. So basically a prolapsed or slipped disc, albeit of pretty severe proportions. This has left him as an 'incomplete paraplegic' which means that he has limited movement in his legs, and as such is a wheelchair user.

7 years agoI'd like to say a huge thank you to all those that've donated to Mark and to the awesome lot that took part in the 24 hour squashathon. We've smashed our target which means Mark can get equipment that he could've only dreamed of and make a massive difference to his life.
