A special request!!

[Budgie]

The one great thing at these times Mark and Mosto is that the good in people comes out in bucket loads and your faith in humanity comes back. I had the day from hell yesterday where my partner got hauled off in an ambulance with pneumonia and while I was there in emergency I got a call from a hospital over 100 kms away to say Mum was being admitted after a bad fall. Every professional I dealt with and every friend I told and every client I had to contact could not have been more helpful. And then I read this last night and my heart all but burst with the love on this site. The world really is a good place, it's just a bastard we have to have the tragedy.
You are a great bunch Silvertails!

Hey Mark, thinking of you all, and proud to support and donate to such a deserving individual. Your a good man, the world can do with more people like you.
Cheers mate

Done
Every little thing helps in times of need especially when it comes to family
Thoughts with you Mark and the family

The latest is that this is close to $9000, and much of that ( after reaching $4500 yesterday) is due to Silvertails members, as I said above I'm speechless!!

The latest is that Mick has always wanted to do Cape York ( like me he's a 4WDer and fisherman) but has never been able to afford it.

If well enough he wants it to be a family trip, his family and our family, his costs would now be well and truly covered.

Some awesome memories to be made there mate.

Would you drive up ? Telegraph track is awesome fun and I'd love to get back up there one day. Hopefully you can make it happen for him, be an awesome family trip.

Donation made. Very Happy to help.

 

[Frank]

Sorry Mark. Happy to contribute.

PS to Mark. (on lighter side) do not try and convert the kids. You will have as much fun with them as Panthers supporters.

Agreed. I think it would be a nice touch for them to follow their dad's team in this instance.

Yep I've done the OTT, and Mick's always wanted to do it , just gotta hope his health hangs in to about May to do it!!

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

The latest figure is $10248

We as a family are gob smacked , and truly truly grateful

 

[Prez]

Happy to chip in Mark. I'm sorry to hear of Mick's battle, hope he gets everything he wants. Wishing his family and yourself all the best.

If you click on the link you'll see a donation from a Bulldogs fan, it's on " the Kennel" as well.

I guess this type of situation transcends affiliations.

Mick & Alice are reading all your comments , so thank you for those as well.

I agree with Bones, the donation was easy but the words were harder. It doesn't make a difference weather I know Mick or even yourself Mark, it's still hard. I never had a proper goodbye for my Dad at the end of 2014 but I had only just turned 27 and he was 58 and feel so grateful to have shared 27 years with him. Mick's kid's won't be afforded such a privilege so I hope they have one amazing trip to fill them with everlasting happy memories. You're doing a great thing Mark, I hope you surpass your donation goals mate!

People are very kind. I was in the same situation as your daughter Mark about 10 years ago. Workmates chipped in a few thousand, it meant a lot, and was really helpful. I lived on it for a month or so as my kids started school etc.

 

[Jerry1]

lock, ban, delete!

wait...wrong thread....oops.

I mean...

done! (hope it helps)

To coin a phrase from some soccer team somewhere Mark....(nark)

You'll never walk alone!

wishing you guys all the best.

Good on ya mate - from the other side of the world... Respect....

 

[Jerry1]

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.

Not sure like is the right button - wishing you and your family the best mate.

 

[mjb136]

Done.

So sorry to hear this Mark. Wish your family all the best.

 

[Freagle]

First time I've shed a tear on the forum...(though I've been close a few times, like when the club shafted Tooves...)

Lost my mum at a young age from cancer. Scared ****less it'll happen to me too, leaving my kids without a Dad (about the same age as your grandkids).

Hoping with everything I have that he can pull off a miracle (like when Wolfie shook off Inglis to score in the corner in '13) and that you guys can share the good times for years to come.

I love that the good people in the world can come together and help out like this. Eagle people really are the best people...

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Our old mate Mr Invis from the Kennel just donated $200, I'm absolutely lost for words just on $12k to date
