A man who was told by doctors that he would never walk again after a motorbike accident has found the love of his life. Dan Metcalfe, 34, became paralysed from the belly button down after a crash in 2014, despite a six-hour operation at Queen's Medical Centre in Nottingham.
Six years later, Dan, a scuba diver from Grantham, was proposing to Eve Metcalfe, 28, at Cleethorpes beach. They had met on Tinder and she was immediately impressed with his love of extreme sports.
After a few weeks of texting and talking over the phone, the pair met at the pub before going on two more dates. Dad-of-two Dan announced he was heading off to Lanzarote for hand cycling training, in January 2020.
