Mark said: “I’m excited and so grateful for it. I have been feeling quite emotional about the fact people have offered me so much help.
“I have been really pleased by everything, it has all moved so much faster than how I thought it would have. It is quite overwhelming really.”
He is expected to need up to 12 more sessions of laser therapy to remove the inking completely, with the free treatment valued at about $3,000 NZD in total.
