Team Mark is about supporting #TheCarbonArcher a Disabled archer who is a below knee amputee over the next 22 months this will enable Mark to reach the next level within the programme and progress to becoming a funded archer.

As a confirmed Talent Development archer in Jan 2017 on the Development programme Mark has now progressed to the Paralympic Conversion Academy. In March 2018 he competed in his 1st international competition and was ranked 9th overall in the Dubai World Ranking Tournament.
Mark now needs to do the following:
1.
Increase his training hours to 6 hours per day full time and to maintain this 6 days per week to include practice and coaching.
2.
Fund coaching sessions, competitions, travel, accommodation, and specialist services as required each month.
3.
Attend when required the HQ of Archery GB for additional coaching and assessments.once per month.
4.
To be self funded for the next 12 months.

To enable Mark to do this he needs your support! Mark said "I've made it this far and i am not prepared to give up. Archery GB believe i have what it takes and i believe i have it too".

Mark can not currently attract funding until he reaches the next level and beyond and likewise without funding maintain or increase his training to meet the demands without support.
