The Founder
MARK 7
“I’m just a lad from a small town in Wales. I consider myself equal. In the grand scheme of things, I’m simply grateful to play a small part in God’s plan.”
— Mark 7
A Journey of Hope
Mark 7 left school with low confidence.
In the Army, he faced setbacks, including failing his initial fitness test and being voted the fattest in his troop. He overcame those obstacles and went on to become an Army commando. After leaving the military Mark worked as a bodyguard, door supervisor, and personal trainer.
He dabbled with a little ultra-endurance by completing the Marathon des Sables in the Sahara Desert and ran from Denver to San Francisco, averaging 27 miles per day. He broke a treadmill distance record and placed 1st in the Strava Distance Challenge in both 2014 and 2015, competing against tens of thousands of participants.
Mark also worked as a support worker for individuals with learning difficulties, autism, brain injury, and epilepsy.
He organized the Pembrokeshire 5K Run of Hope, sponsored and supported by McDonald’s, Tesco, Coca-Cola, Nike, and local sports stars. He has authored personal development books, produced speaking events, and interviewed high performers from sport and business to understand the mindset behind success.
Beyond the achievements, Mark’s mission is simple: to make the world better by sending love and kindness into it.
He believes every great thing begins with one hopeful, courageous step forward.
Personality: Optimistic
Personal Hero: Santa Claus
Loyalty in Action, Love in Motion.
In 2001, three weeks after the tragic events of September 11, Mark travelled to New York City.
Not for tourism. Not for business. But out of loyalty and solidarity with the American people.
America was grieving and hope was hard to find.
But Mark believed one thing then, the same thing he believes now:
If hate, darkness and war move in one direction, then love, light and peace must rise in the other.

Some call it coincidence. Others call it fate. Mark 7 sees it as part of God’s plan.
Are these sevens coincidences?
Or something greater?
Maybe you’ve seen patterns in your own life.
Moments that felt like more than chance.
Call it fate.
Call it purpose.
Call it God.
What if the things you thought were coincidences were never coincidences at all?
