I am Mark
I am a father, grandfather, brother and uncle.
I am a lawyer-turned-psychologist.
I am 69 in January 2026
I love adventures in the outdoors that connect challenges for mind and body.
I am English and living in Switzerland with my Swiss wife.

For a personal re-TYRE-ment (!) project I decided to take on a challenging cycle expedition to raise awareness and funds for Alzheimer’s disease. As a ‘silent pandemic’ this is an important issue in every part of the world that I imagine has touched your life somehow – as it has mine.

I am motivated to take on these challenges in honour of my mother Maureen, who lived 15 years with Alzheimer’s disease; sadly, we already lost her ‘self’ in many ways before she died from the disease at the end of 2019.

I now recognise that I am also a potential candidate!
