Description
Martin Hibbert was left paralysed from the waist down by the Manchester Arena bombing, which killed twenty-two people on 22 May 2017. Martin's teenage daughter Eve was one of the 940 injured, in Eve's case, gravely. The dad from Bolton has since become a leading campaigner both for victims of the atrocity and those with spinal cord injuries.
Determined to make a difference, he took on the ultimate challenge, scaling Kilimanjaro in a wheelchair, becoming the second paraplegic to do so, and raising a million pounds for charity. Reaching the summit on 13 June 2022, Martin, who was the closest person to the bomber to survive, said, "I've often wondered why I was saved. Now I know why. It was for this moment."
This is Martin's incredible story.
