Mark Pollock charity run

A number of friends of Mark Pollock are organising a fundraising 4km/8km run that will take place simultaneously in Dublin, Belfast, Cork and Galway on Weds Nov 16th @ 19:30.

For those of you who have not been lucky enough to meet Mark personally or have not heard his story – the below paragraph from the Mark Pollock Trust site captures a sense of the amazing man

For over a decade Mark Pollock was known as an inspiration, an adventure athlete competing in the world’s harshest environments despite becoming completely blind at the age of 22.On the night of the 2ndof July 2010 everything changed again. He fell from a second story window fracturing his skull, some ribs and breaking his back in a number of places leaving him paralysed from the waist down.

The Mark Pollock Trust hopes to raise significant funds to assist with the capital and ongoing costs specifically associated with his spinal injury – including a team of rehabilitation specialists, physiotherapy equipment, visits to specialised spinal injury activity-based recovery centres and mobility solutions. You can help Mark to break through the barriers that paralysis and blindness have placed around him

Anyone I have met who have heard Mark’s story have constantly asked – “How can I help?”

Mark has been a friend of Piranha club for many years and has completed Ironman with Piranhas (Ciaran Lewis) as his guide

Now is Piranha’s chance to help him once more by signing up for this run (a mere €25) via www.run4mark.com and take the option to donate more if you so wish.
