I am looking to raise some money in memory of my brother Mark, also known to many of his friends in the UK as 'H'. There is no obligation for anyone to donate, only if you are able and wish to, hopefully this will help this charity continue its fight and assist others fight in the future.

Mark fought a 4 1/2 year battle with cancer, very proud of how he did this with dignity and resilience. For many of this friends in the UK this has been news they were not expecting.  He carried on enjoying his new life in Australia and travelling on various holidays, living his life with his family the best he could.  He also managed to carry on working for over 2 years, making lots of new Oz friends. 

Coleshill was his home town all his life and he always remembered this fondly particularly these last few months but we believe this was more about all his good friends he had and the memories they shared.  He would have loved to have made a visit back last year for his 60th birthday.

He will be very sadly missed by his wife Sharon and sons Ben and Robert in Australia.  So proud and thankful of how they have managed with his illness the last few weeks and made his time as happy and comfortable as possible.  He will be greatly missed by his family in the UK, his mother, sisters Karen, Carol and myself and nephew and nieces Steph, Luke, Nicole, Faith and Louise.

Due to the current situation in the world we were unable to visit to see Mark and support Sharon and the boys these last weeks or be there for the funeral.  Rest in peace,
