Just had an email advertising this event  http://www.markpollocktrust.org/run/

QuoteJoin us on the 16th November in one of four venues nationwide (Belfast, Cork, Dublin & Galway) to partake in a unique night time fun run for a truly inspiring individual. There is also a shorter walking option so everyone can get involved and show support!

Mark Pollock Trust
On the 2nd July 2010, Mark Pollock fell from a second story window. A catastrophic spinal cord injury has left him completely paralysed from the waist down. Cruelly this is not Mark's first tragedy. When he was only 22 he lost his sight.

The Mark Pollock Trust has been set up by friends 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.


its well worth reading about Mark (from N.Ireland) and his achievements
