Unbroken by blindness at 22, Mark competed in ultra endurance races across deserts, mountains, and the polar ice caps including an epic 2 month expedition race to the South Pole. He won silver and bronze rowing in the Commonwealth Games.
In July 2010 a tragic fall left him paralysed. Now Mark is living his own lessons, a pioneer exploring the frontiers of spinal cord injury recovery.
I spoke to Mark about the challenges he has faced, and is facing, as well as finding out more about the work he's doing to find a cure for spinal cord injuries – all of which feature in the film 'Unbreakable - the Mark Pollock story'. The film website is www.markpollockfilm.com.
You can follow Mark on Twitter @markpollock and to find about more Mark and his work, visit the Mark Pollock Trust website - www.markpollocktrust.org
