A Manchester Arena bomb survivor says he is "so proud" after climbing Mount Kilimanjaro in a wheelchair. Martin Hibbert says he now hopes to change attitudes to disability after completing the incredible feat.
Martin, from Bolton, was the closest person to the bomb to survive following the atrocity in May 2017. However, the football agent suffered injuries compared to ‘being shot 22 times at point-blank range’, including damage to his spinal cord which left him paralysed from the waist down, and was warned that he might never walk again.
His daughter Eve also suffered life-changing injuries. He decided to attempt to scale Africa's highest peak to raise £1m for the Spinal Injuries Association, and is halfway to his target. You can donate here.
