The father-of-two is off to try and summit Africa's highest mountain 19,341ft Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania tomorrow to raise more cash.
He said: "It went really well and it is way more than I ever dreamed of raising and I am absolutely delighted. Auctioneer Charlie Ross was fantastic."
Mark is still recovering from injuries suffered while rescuing a stricken fellow comrade in Afghanistan in November 2009 and needed eight operations after Taliban insurgents blew him up.
