Biographies & Memoirs

The one and a half square meters of footpath space on Broadway, Newmarket, Auckland from which Mark Grantham sells his chocolate bars for charity has to be one of the smallest retail sites in New Zealand. One regular customer jokingly refers to it as Mark's 'office', because it is where Mark - severly disabled with cerebral palsy since birth - has plied his trade for the last seventeen years. For 20 years now, Chris Grantham has been Mark's chocolate admin man. For 33 years he has also doubled as his father and therefore knows him rather well! Mark's is quite a story - and there's much, much more to it than chocolate - taste and you'll see.
