Mark overcame many challenges in his youth to eventually complete a business degree and gain employment as a qualified accountant.
In 2008, Mark suffered a broken neck while training with his West Harbour Rugby Club in Sydney. Since then has had to conduct his life through speech and facial movements alone. Despite this, Mark has shown extraordinary good humour and courage. His attitude to life and to others inspires everyone he meets.
Members of the firm have been assisting Mark through the establishment of a Trust to financially support him and others in a similar position. Andrew Chalk is also a director of the Trustee of the Mark Tonga Fund.
Donations of $2 or more to the Trust are tax deductible. To make a donation, please send a cheque made payable to the Mark Tonga Fund addressed to Mark Tonga Fund Pty Limited c/- Level 9, 23 Hunter Street, Sydney.
