Hi,

This is a plea to help an old family friend, a friend that has a passion for restoring motorbikes and is involved in Charity work etc, mark is ex Millitary, a double Amputee, his dream was the millitary, he made it in to the Royal Navy, had some great years but sadly was medically discharged , he now restores motorcycles for free, he makes no profit, he has built bikes for charities, for people in need and genuinely is a fantastic guy that will do anything for anyone, in the last 24 hrs some thieves have broken in to marks property, stolen a Honda shadow 500 that he has spent 2 years restoring and all his tools, im not able to do much about his motorbike but I can certainly help with Donating some of my spare tools and starting this fund raiser to help towards replacement

also if anybody has any unused tools that they could spare, please contact me and i will pass them on to him so he can start again, maybe even an old motorbike he could use as a project , he is a double Amputee so not able to ride one any more but once restoration is completed, bike could be sold and money passed to charities that have helped Mark

when I was young, Mark was like a father figure to me , he often gave me a clip around the ear when I was a bugger, he once spent days looking for a thief that pulled a knife on me and stole my money and phone, Mark is genuinely a fantastic guy and I want to help please get in touch with any help possible
