Mark Purslowe, Location Manager Purslowe Funerals Victoria Park, recently took part in the Perth Relay for Life.
In an impressive display of endurance and commitment, Mark walked for 16 hours out of the 24 hours set aside for the event, grabbing only a couple of hours sleep in a swag in the early hours of the Sunday morning.
Part of Mark’s inspiration for this Herculean effort came from the experiences of two of his close friends who also participated in the Relay for Life. Each has felt the impact of cancer in their lives, whether personally or through the diagnosis of a loved one.
A moving candlelit service in memory of those who have passed away from cancer was part of the Relay for Life.
Mark and his friends are already gearing up for the event next year.
