Best of luck Martin!
After being paralysed in the Manchester Arena attack, a father has said climbing Mount Kilimanjaro is just the start of his plan to “move mountains” for disabled people.
“The actual work starts when we get back in terms of the bigger message about wanting to change the landscape for disabled people, especially people with spinal cord injuries.“We’re going to be climbing a mountain but to get the changes that we need when we come back we’re going to have to move mountains.”
He told the PA news agency: “That’s why I’m doing Kilimanjaro because I needed to get people’s attention to say ‘look at what’s happening in the UK at the minute, did you know that seven people in the UK a day get a spinal cord injury but only one in three get the help and support I did to live a fulfilled life?’ I just think that’s wrong.“That’s what I want to change. It’s not going to be easy.
“I don’t know if that is right but it makes me feel very good when I say it and it’s the only thing really that makes sense.”
