| Mark lost his sight when his retinas detached aged just 22, at that stage a promising business and economics student at Trinity College and an international rower. A career in investment banking and life as he knew it quickly faded from view. Once over the shock of blindness, Mark was challenged to redefine his life framed by his new circumstances. He moved back to Dublin and resumed post-graduate study and rowing, winning two Commonwealth Games medals.
In July 2010, the challenge chose Mark. In a fall from a second story window, he broke his back and was left paralysed. Now Mark is a pioneer, exploring the frontiers of spinal cord injury recovery through aggressive physical therapy and robotic technology. |
