Very sad news. RIP bullheart.
met mark once, talked about rugby. nice bloke.
rest in peace mate. x
Shit shit shit. That utterly sucks and is terrible news.
My deepest condolences to Meg and his whole family. I can only echo what other people have said about him being such a big inspiration in bad times. Ride on Bullheart.
Oh no. Thoughts to all his loved ones and the many he has touched in the last 10 years.
Cancer, you are a ****
I never met the guy or indeed ever spoke to him on here. But I did follow the news, even talking to my non-cycling wife about what an amazing man this "bloke of this cycling forum" seems to be.
I'm not afraid to say I've shed more than a tear at this news today.
Ride on buddy, you will probably never know how many people you've inspired.
And hugs and condolences to your family.
Truly an inspiration with the "never give up" optimism to keep on fighting...
Condolences to the family.. very sad.
Shit. I’ve been fearing the worst since his post a few weeks ago. Cannot even begin to fathom how hard he fought for all those years. A true legend of this parish.
Thoughts and condolences to his family and friends.
Surely we, the STW collective, can contribute something in his memory (or rather, to celebrate the fact he was one truly hard bastard) ...
condolences 🙁
Never met Mark either but read his story on here, really thought things would turn around in some sort of miracle. So sad, condolences to the family. RIP.
Ah bollocks. Just saw the thread and had to go out for a cry.
People always say thoughts to the families, but that's straight where mine went.
Then bumped into a colleague outside and he said "What's up?" and I described what an amazing bloke Mark had been.* Only met him a couple of times, but the Bullheart Mountain Mayhem was one of the best weekends of my life.
I shall post a couple of pics if I can find them.
What a shit day.
*then I realised the bloke I'd been talking to - his wife is going through chemo for breast cancer at the moment. **** CANCER.
Bummer, really shit news. I never met him but remember him from here over the years and he seemed a great guy.
RIP bullheart.
I met him once. He drove from Kent to Manchester on a freezing February morning for a bike race the day after Chemo, did the race, chatted to everyone then drove back. Absolutely nuts.
I remember filling up the day, many years ago, when he was told that he was “all clear”. I’m at it again now, but for the opposite reason.
My thoughts are with your family fella. Ride on Big Man.
RIP to a proper fighter, gave me perspective many times.
Read Bullhearts story on and off over the last 9 years. Never met him but seemed like one determined bastard. Love to all those he's left behind.
RIP Bullheart
Just like so many others on here I never got the chance to meet Mark but felt I got to know at least a part of him through his threads here . Rest easy bullheart
Hope this is appropriate.
Mark with arms folded. What an awesome bloke.

RIP Mark.
Hopefully you have bumped in to Keith Flint and are having one hell of an after party!!
**** Cancer
Awful news. I never met Mark, but he always came across as an incredibly genuine, good guy. He was a constant inspiration. #****cancer
RIP.
This is deeply sad news. May his memory be eternal!
Hats off to Mark. What a guy!! A master of inspiration and motivation. Many a ride will have thoughts of Mark and his family in them. His story is chiselled in lives of many on here.
What a hero
Bollocks. That's shit. RIP.
bugger, RIP Mr.
Can't write now..too dusty

Sad news. His courage and positivity have been inspirational over the last 10 years. Huge sympathy to his family and friends. RIP Bullheart.
What an incredibly inspiring, brave and humorous guy.
RIP Bullheart
He was inspiring.
Who does he leave behind in terms of family. Kids? Anything we can do in for his legacy (I know it is early days)
RIP
Oh man, that's shit news 🙁 What a fighter he was. RIP.
I'm really sad to hear this; what an amazing guy he was.
Sad sad news.
Gutted. RIP Bullheart. Never met the guy but his presence on here demonstrated he was one strong guy with an inspirational outlook in the face of adversity.
I will be wearing my Bullheart t-Shirt to the pub tonight and raising a glass.
Stand Down Bullheart.
Sad times.
Oh no! I just can't get my head around this terrible news. I remember reading Mark's first post about his illness all those years ago & following his battle with ****ing cancer. If anyone could have pulled through I believed that it would have been Mark, his positive outlook, despite going through what he was going through, was inspiring.
R.I.P.
What shitty, shitty news. Never met him but followed his story from the beginning, awaiting each new post with a mix of trepidation and hope. Thoughts with his family, and hopefully they can take some small consolation from the fact that Mark was such a huge inspiration to everyone here and no doubt to many in the wider world.
RIP
Aw bollocks. I never met the guy but followed his story on here over the years and this has brought tears to my eyes. I always thought that ****er was indestructible. What an absolute tragedy. RIP, sir.
Bollocks.
One of the best of us.
Tbh, I'd started to assume he was immortal.
Rest in peace Mark.
Oh bugger. RIP Mark.
Shit. Properly inspirational bloke, sincere condolences to the family and friends. I’m there if they need anything.
RIP bullheart.
Sad news. RIP Bullheart. Inspirational posts on here.
RIP Mark, like most of you here I never had the pleasure but he was one tough mofo and an utter inspiration. STW has lost a legend.
Bollocks. RIP Mark, you went down fighting.
Very sad news - totally inspirational. Thoughts with friends and family 🙁 RIP
RIP Mark, keep on smiling where ever you maybe
