During a conversation with Jarlath Regan on An Irishman Abroad, Mark talks about the extreme measures that he took to feel normal once again having become blind (12:00) to the wonderful tale of love and commitment between himself and his fiancée (30:00). From his outlining of the fascinating work that he does as a leading test pilot for robotic leg systems in the search for a cure for paralysis (51:00) to his experiences of being excluded for being in a wheelchair (47:00), this conversation is a sobering insight into what is possible with the right attitude.
