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.
