During his visits to Washington, Mark has created excitement among the kids that is hard to describe. They have learned many rope skipping skills from his demonstrations, but more importantly, they have learned the value of leading a healthy lifestyle free of drugs.

What pleasant memories we have throughout Northeast Florida from your presentations. Speaking for all those little faces I saw from Union Co. to Bradford Co. and those I image, we thank you for touching them and planting the seeds of prevention and good health practices. Students and adults alike appreciate seeing and learning the messages you so vividly convey.

All of us were amazed by your great physical condition, and more so by your showmanship and skills. The pupils were mesmerized. Your visit took the whole school by storm. It sparked off a rope skipping craze.

Mark has been to my school district many times. He continues to excite our children with his positive messages of fitness, kindness, and respect for one's self and others. His programs are full of motivational and inspirational techniques that are useful not only to our children, but also to our staff. Most importantly, the children at all levels just love him and his enthusiasm for life. I know that his message will stay with our children for a lifetime.

Mark returned to the region last year to even larger audiences and more schools. His skill, showmanship and enthusiasm were all exceptional, yet still did not match his obvious desire to pass on a message of fitness, health, and self discipline which would carry over into all walks of life.
