WHY?
Unbroken by blindness in 1998, Mark Pollock suffered a catastrophic
spinal cord injury in 2010 that left him paralysed. As Mark strives to
walk again, his most complex journey is ahead of him – to find a cure
for spinal cord injuries for him and the millions of paralysed people
around the world. The Life Style Sports Run in the Dark plays a vital
role in funding the The Mark Pollock Trust’s mission to find and connect people around the world to fast-track a cure for paralysis.
WHAT?
As darkness sweeps around the globe on Wednesday, November 12th,
thousands will pull on their running shoes and red flashing armbands
and head for the door. In over 30 cities worldwide, they will be part
of a living light show flowing through the streets like lava. Those
same people will be helping to fast-track a cure for paralysis as part
of the Life Style Sports Run in the Dark. Belfast is one of the 5
official locations, Dublin, Cork, Belfast, London and Manchester, with pop-up events in cities worldwide.
