To help Mark fulfill his dream and passion

Canterbury

This maybe an odd give a little request to help Mark race a Speedway Sidecar at speed with no brakes with a someone hanging off the back to help steer the bike around the track, but this is Mark's dream to do that exact thing.

Unfortunately before Marks dream could be completely fulfilled he got the devastating news that he had cancer, Mark had only just completed his mentor program and ready to start new race season. Mark had surgery which left him with open wounds that needed to be dressed everyday by a district nurse and was told that his speedway days were over for at least 2-3 years and is not allowed to ride. So he made the heartbreaking decision to sell his bike to help get through his treatment. So this page is to raise funds for Mark, so the bike can be bought back for him, so when is well he will be able to ride again and fulfill his passion. The sidecar has been bought by William Little off the person who originally had the sidecar for the purpose of raising money to gift the bike back to Mark Any help big or small will be significantly appreciated.
