Extended Interview: Mark Pollock
Mark Pollock is a truly inspiring character; an Irish adventurer, who first came to prominence in 2009 when he became the first blind man to reach the South Pole. Unbroken by blindness, he has since been dealt another huge devastation, a tragic fall in 2010 leaving him paralysed. The Co. Down native has now taken on his biggest challenge yet, as he aims to find a cure for spinal cord injuries through his work with the Mark Pollock Trust. We got a chance to sit down with Mark and hear his remarkable story, click PLAY above to hear the interview.
