One of Mark's other interests is his Amphicar. After owning it for 21 years he lovingly restored it and launched it in Loch Awe during 2013. Charities have previously expressed an interest for it to be used at events on the River Thames in London.
We are working very closely with the Princess Royal Trust for carers. We are arranging a Young Carers activity break at the Portsonachan Hotel, Loch Awe in June 2010. It is hoped that there will be celebrity appearances and media coverage of this event. Mark is also arranging for his Amphicar to be completed and available for the event.

The last of the limited edition of 99 Walk on the Wildside was auctioned in May 2007. The table sold for just under £8000 with all proceeds going to the David Shepherd Wildlife Foundation.
Mark Stoddart donated the last in the edition of his most popular sculptures 'Hippo the Lad' to the Art for Survival Wildlife Auction at Christie's and was overjoyed when it received a bid reaching 40% more than anticipated from an American collector. The auction was a huge success and raised an impressive amount for The David Shepherd Wildlife Foundation, a foundation which through the tireless efforts, fund raising events and dedication of its wildlife experts, artists and celebrities around the world help fight for the survival of critically endangered mammals. Over the years Mark has donated 100% of the sale price of 7 pieces to the Foundation.
