A special request!!

[Mark from Brisbane]

You guys are simply amazing, I'm speechless at what's happening.

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Silvertails members ( and that's just a few of you) have donated almost $1000 in about two hours.

I'm just at a total loss for words right now!!

 

[marga]

Done. I've had the pleasure of meeting Mick and he is a really nice guy. Keep strong Mark, Rosemary and family. ❤️

Done, sometimes life can be very cruel .

 

[bob dylan]

Done. I too was thinking my week had been rubbish. Sometimes I need to be slapped.

My father is fighting bowel cancer at present. I'm 39 with 4 kids and the thought of losing him scares the **** out if me. The fact your grandkids are facing that prospect at such a young age is truly heart-breaking. My thoughts are with all of you.

I wish your dad all the best mate. Hope he wins the fight.

[Mals]

I just got back from Sydney after a funeral for a loved one, only too glad to help out where I can, all be it only with a donation as I don't have any magic words except for love.

I'm going to do a plug .. over the last 10 years I have helped organise Rotary's bowelscan awareness program. So in a couple of months when kits become available please guys buy and complete the test. If picked up early it is a breeze. Picked up later a nightmare.
It is cruel on Mick ...so young ..usually more common in 50+ year olds.
I do probably 10 hours a week in volunteer/charity work and see hundreds of requests for donations. I personally think this is worth making a donate. (and will do so as soon as I find my bloody wallet..yeah yeah true.. left at home).
PS to Mark. (on lighter side) do not try and convert the kids. You will have as much fun with them as Panthers supporters.

I've been doing yearly bowel scanning since I was 50, just never thought id have to suggest it to my fit healthy, non drinking, non smoking 35 year old son in law.

When I posted this last night we had $4200 in the account, as of just now over $8000.

We are truly appreciative of everyone's generosity.

There's some local fund raising happening in Moree as well , the aim there is to get $50k to help my daughter after she goes back to one income when Mick is gone.

The funds raised with this will be used to get them away for a family holiday to make some memories, we had thought a week on the coast , if we can get to $10k or more Disneyland comes into the picture.

It's also heart warming to read everyone's comments as they donate, my daughter finds them hugely uplifting.

 

[Ryan]

Donated just now legend. Hope all is well. I've experienced this last year...not fun mate ! All the best buddy.

Tragic news Mark. I hope those beautiful children enjoy every minute they can spend with their Dad.
