Heartfelt thank-you’s

Gee this could be a very long blog, but I’ll try to keep it short, and I really want to focus on my own little family unit.

To Nicole, my wife, thank you for continuing to allow me to live my dreams. Things have changed so much since we first discussed them…but your love, generosity and support hasn’t.

To Chloe, Harry and Mitchell, my beautiful children. Words cannot describe the pain and heartache when I leave. It’s this pain that makes me question the very thing that I’ve done. I never stop thinking about how you must feel when I’m away, it means so much to hear your voices each day.
Being left with a great mum when dads taken off again on a big adventure, allows the me the luxury of still listening to the happiness in your voices when I call.

I intend to spend many hours when I’m skiing, working out how I can make it up to you all.

And to my and Nicole’s families, friends, work colleagues and others, who all chip in to help whilst I’m away….heartfelt thanks to you all.

With hugs

Mark Georgie George
