Support for the Neurological Foundation of NZ

Mark is the visionary founder and curator of the Miniature Marvels gallery, which offers visitors a captivating glimpse into humanity and its machines in miniature through 'The 1/72nd Scale Experience'.

As Parkinson’s disease compels him to prepare to set aside his passion for scale modelling—a hobby that relies heavily on precise fine motor skills—Mark resolved to transform his personal loss into a source of benefit for others.

He made the decision to offer free admission to his gallery as a way of giving back to the community that has enriched his own life through his hobby.

More importantly, he chose to champion the work of the NZ Neurological Foundation by encouraging visitors to make charitable donations to the organization. This initiative is profoundly influenced by his mother’s life with Multiple Sclerosis and the resilient "can do regardless" spirit she instilled in Mark through her enduring example.
