Mark Lay Foundation

General information

The Mark Lay Foundation was founded in November 2017; by sister and brother Josephine & Thomas, with the aim to support families just like theirs. After losing their Dad Mark at the age of 46; to cancer after a brave 4 year battle, they realised that they were both lucky enough to have experienced a recent family holiday in February 2017.

This got Jo and Tom thinking about how fundraising and setting up a charity in their dad’s name, could help support families that possibly couldn’t afford their last holiday. To give people a chance to make memories that last a lifetime.

Mark was a believer in fundraising and giving back to the community, over the years he has played a key role in supporting several charities both local and national. With this in mind; the Mark Lay Foundation will make yearly donations to those charities who both benefited from Mark’s fundraising efforts and gave back to him when he needed.
