This page has been created so we can raise a collection together for our much loved, wonderful colleague and friend, Mark.

Since early August, Mark has sadly been in and out of hospital where he has now twice been in ICU due to a recent diagnosis of NUT carcinoma, a very rare cancer with a very aggressive tumour. At present, he is having to put up one heck of a fight. The team have opened his airway (twice) so he can breathe more comfortably and after successful campaigning by his family was transferred to the Royal Marsden where he is in critical care.

Mark is being unbelievably brave, as are his family, through what is such an unbelievably worrying time for them.

This collection will go to Mark, to help him get whatever he needs now in the hospital and then continue to support him when he is home.

Please join us all in wishing Mark the very best, for positive thoughts and a full recovery!

Thank you so much for all his support, we have been overwhelmed and if means so much to Mark and his family. A big shout out to Becton Dickinson and his awesome boss Joe who lent him an iPad, without which he wouldn't be able to speak.
