Mark Edwards first became aware of Forever Stars when I met Richard by chance at a joint activity we were undertaking, and was immediately struck by their story and the amazing cause that had come from such heartache.

Over the last few years Mark followed the charity’s progress and like many of us in 2020, decided that 2021 has to be a more meaningful year.

Having spent some of lockdown walking on a daily basis, and spurred on by a very close friend and my family, Mark has continued walking lots in 2021 but with the main aim of raising money for Forever Stars!

From New Years day 2021, Mark is tracking every step he does with the target to complete 4 million steps by 31st December 2021. The first walk started at the Serenity garden in Highfields, which have been a regular focus of Marks updates throughout the year due to it being the next big Forever Stars project.

Mark has already raised over £800 including gift aid and it still making great progress to achieve his 4 million steps target!  If you would like to sponsor Mark, you can visit his JustGiving page here.
