Mark Pollock: International Speaker, Adventure Athlete & Author.

Mark's story of rebuilding his life after unexpectedly losing his sight continues to inspire people all over the world.

“The shock of going blind was almost unbearable. One moment I was on the crest of a wave with everything going my way, the next I went blind and my life changed forever. I thought my life was over.”

On 10 th April 2004 , six years to the day that Mark went blind, he completed the world's most extreme marathon at the North Pole. The story is incredible and what he has learnt on the journey reminds us that there is a power that resides within us all to take control of our lives .

“It doesn't matter if I'm racing at the North Pole or in the Gobi desert, developing new opportunities in my business or even writing a book, the same principles apply.”
