What better way for Mark to celebrate his 30th Birthday than chucking himself out of a plane at 10,000ft?!.. Just one catch..
HE JUST DOESN'T KNOW HE'S DOING IT YET!
This is one thing Mark has said he's always wanted to do (I haven't just been cruel and set him up!) The Skydive will take in place in August next year - So he has plenty of time to prepare!..
We just have to keep it a secret until his birthday in December (No pressure!)
The skydive will be in aid of The Alzheimer's Society and in memory of Mark's Grandad Alf who passed away in 2016 from Dementia. Any donation however big or small will be greatly appreciated and will be presented to Mark on his Birthday.. With camera stuck in his face so everyone can see his reaction!
Mark and his family have seen first hand how tough this condition can be. Mark lost his Grandad Alf in 2016 to Dementia.
Mark and his Grandad were very close.
From his Grandad babysitting him and feeding him egg and soldiers every week.... To years later, Mark's weekly visits to visit his grandad in a dementia care home.
Grandad Alf (or GA as mark and his family called him) was a huge part in the families lives, and is still missed very much, every day.
What would he say if he knew that mark was jumping from a plane at 10,000ft? .... he'd say 'sound'
