Story
Please help us show this amazing former Royal Marine Pride of Britain winner and now MBE Mark Ormrod that Plymouth city recognises his amazing achievements.
Mark has worked tirelessness to raise money and the profile of the charity Reorg by doing various endurance themed challenges the last being a 99.9 mile bike ride. He has also competed in the Invictus games winning several gold medals, so we feel that it is time something is done for him.
We aim to do this by commissioning a mural that Mark and the city of Plymouth can be proud of.
When Mark was first approached by PAT Plymouth's Artists Together PAT page link was a little embarrassed that we even suggested the idea but once he knew he could add some inspirational quotes to the mural that he feels could help others he came on board with the idea (the man still wants to help others!).
Kevin Preston Former Coldstream Guards and Military artist and member of PAT Artist link was asked if he could meet up with Mark and come up with a design and to say they were both happy with the result would be an understatement.
Mark said the painting was "Hoofing" Royal Marine slang for 'awesome', Kevin was "Chuffed to Naffi Breaks" Tri services slang for chuffed to bits.
Kevin was so impressed and inspired by Mark that he has offered his services for free to massively upscale his original design but for this to happen we need funding......and this is where you come in.
We need to raise £3000 as this is what we have estimated that a mural of this size will cost once we consider the hire of a cherry picker or scaffolding, materials, preparation of the wall and a fresh coat of paint before we start as we want this to be a lasting mural.
Please be rest assured that once the mural is finished, we will publish a complete breakdown of cost and if we have any monies remaining, they will be donated to Mark's Charity Reorg
Many thanks on Behalf of
PAT Plymouth's Artists Together Mark and Kevin

2 years agoHi Everyone Thanks for your awesome support. We are still waiting for a wall to paint the mural. The wall we wanted was owned by Plymouth Community Homes. It had a lot of conditions and we was told to look for a more suitable wall. But we have had some great news. The scaffolding has been donated for free from Neil Stoneman scaffolding. This is brilliant news. So we have enough to do this mural we just need a wall, If you want to carry on donating, all monies left over will go to Mark Ormrod MBE charity Reorg.
