Martin Hibbert was left paralysed from the waist down by the Manchester Arena bombing which killed twenty-two people on 22 May 2017. ,Determined to make a difference, he scaled Kilimanjaro in a wheelchair, raising a million pounds for charity.

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.
