Thank you once again to everyone who has donated to this fund. It has been an incredible show of support, love and friendship. We have raised 172% of the target, £6,890 raised by 179 supporters. Absolutely wonderful. Thank you. Please see the facebook pages for details of Mark's funeral and wake and let us know by responding to the event, or if you are not on facebook please email me biggest_sky@yahoo.co.uk to let us know you are planning on attending. I will now be closing the JustGiving page.

Once again we want to say a huge thank you to everyone who has donated to this page to support Mark's funeral. We really have been so astounded by the response. As the target has now been met and surpassed by a huge amount, we will be closing the page in a couple of days. As mentioned below, surplus funds will be put towards a musical memorial event in Mark's name later in the year and then possibly to some charities as well.

There is an 'event' for the funeral on Facebook so that we can have an idea of numbers attending and plan accordingly: if you are planning on attending the funeral and/or the wake, please can you confirm your attendance on this event: https://fb.me/e/2Wahe9aLv If you (or others you know) are not on Facebook and therefore can't respond to the event, please could you drop me a line at biggest_sky@yahoo.co.uk to let me know that you are planning on attending? Thank you.
