Hello You 71: Chords Crush Cancer

Hello You is about people, and stories. Particularly people in, from and connected to Shropshire. People who are doing good things, people with interesting stories to tell and thoughts to share, that you can listen to and then share with others as well.

If you know someone who fits that description - maybe it’s you - get in touch with me? A future episode of this podcast could be built around them, or you.

In this episode of Hello You, I want you to meet Mark Fielden. You may have met him before, if you’ve been into some of Shrewsbury’s biggest retailers over the last quarter-century.

Or maybe you’ve been to one of his Chords Crush Cancer fundraising events, supporting Lingen Davies Cancer Care.

Mark was inspired to start these by his family’s experience when his late mum, Margaret, was living with cancer. He’s now written a book about her, and his journey as a fundraiser over the last eight years.

You can buy Mark’s book Memories of Margaret at Amazon.
