Running a Marathon for Mark Duggan

I have done my fair share of supporting others and now its my turn to ask the favour returned please.

Sometimes in your life you come across a quirky individual who is just a little different to everyone else. Well I want to remember my friend Mark Duggan as he was exactly this; quirky, funny, odd, highly intelligent and unfortunately sometimes lonely and lost.

Mark was a good friend who reminded me of a modern day Willy Wonka of the IT world. I started working with Mark around 25 years ago and had great fun in listening to his amazing stories and dreams, much of the time they were just that . . dreams. But Mark was much more than this, affable when required, educated, cutting and smart. He knew how to make money and spent it. (911's, helicopters, lavish trips for his niece and nephew, sushi dinners, the list goes on).

As the years went on our differences mellowed and we became good friends, I soon learnt that behind his exterior was a soft human in need of some tlc and care. Unfortunately despite support from friends and family Mark took his own life. 

I want to raise some money to provide support to others who maybe struggling and I want to get to 5k really quickly! 

We need to show Mark's family that he wont be forgotten and his name and story will help others get through those darkest days.

Please sponsor me and don't be shy with the donation. It means a lot.

Thank you.
