Simon's Trail Run Challenge for Mark's Battle With Melanoma

  • WOW AMAZING !!

    You all have blown us away. We really have felt the love and support from you ALL, and that has given us that extra strength to fight this battle. Your amazing donations have allowed us to focus on what we need to do, with the best care available, and for that we are more than truly thankful and overwhelmingly humbled.

    Now dear Simon and Molly. Without you guys none of this would have happened and for that we are truly grateful. Awesome run Simon, you are a legend. I’m glad that it’s behind you now and you can chalk that one up as the great milestone that it is and deserves. Love you guys. And Jeff, much respect my friend for being there too.

    To The Beautiful Seaflower Family. You have all been on the ground with us every step of the way. Wherever we have had to turn, you have been there to help and support. Words can’t explain how much that has meant to us.

    We are so blessed to be surrounded by the most heartfelt and beautiful people here on Koh Phangan, in New Zealand and the UK. You know who you are and you also know what you mean to us.

    It has been quite a traumatic and trialling period in our lives. But not once have I/we deterred from this having a happy and positive outcome. From here we believe with the right formula, a positive attitude and regular doctor follow ups, we can keep this at bay and get an all clear in 2 years time.

    With huge love, respect and gratitude, we sincerely thank you for all you have given us.

    Much love

    Mark, Suzy and Louie 🙏🙏❤️❤️

    Hi everyone,

    Just wanted to send a quick update to let everyone know that we did it! The run was yesterday and it was without a doubt the most brutal run I've ever done 😅 I've run marathons before but running through the steep jungle in a place like Thailand hits different.

    HUGE thank you to all of you for the donations and support. It means the world to me and more importantly Mark, Suzy, and Louie.

    Special mention to my running partner Jeff, as well as Pascale, Joe, Manelle and the Seaflower family for all the support here in Phangan too. I know you've been such a huge help to Mark and Suzy over this time.

      Hi All,

      WOW what can I say! You all have blown myself, Suzy and Louie away. We really have felt the love and support from you ALL, and that has given us that extra strength to fight this battle. Your amazing donations have allowed us to focus on what we need to do, with the best care available, and for that we are more than truly thankful and overwhelmingly humbled.

      I am back home again now and hopefully in the last recovery leg for now. It has been quite a traumatic and trialling period in our lives. But not once have I/we deterred from this having a happy and positive outcome. I’ve now had the final operation and with the right formula moving forward, positive attitude and regular doctor follow ups, we can keep this at bay for the next 2 years until we get the all clear.

      With huge love, respect and gratitude, we sincerely thank you for all you have given us.

      Lets all keep moving forward in life together, with a kind, warm, caring heart, that we have been so humbled to have experienced and shared with each other on this journey.

      Again… truly grateful 🙏🙏

      Much love

      Mark, Suzy and Louie ❤️❤️
