It was a modest upbringing in Whalan where Mark Geyer understood the power of love and kindness and where he developed a sense of putting others before yourself.
“My childhood was great…I never knew that we were poor…I didn’t know Mum and Dad were working two jobs just to pay our rent…because there was so much love in the house,” Mark said.
Mark’s charitable endeavours and community support have been far-reaching and reflective of his passion to help local organisations making a difference. Whilst impactful, the support is a responsibility, according to Mark, and one that he is more than happy to honour.
“I never do things (in the community) for public recognition…I had my public recognition as a rugby league player,” Mark said.
“I love the fact that I can give something to people that they wouldn’t have otherwise. Sport brings that (emotion)…sport has got an amazing way of helping people in times of need.”
