At just 28 years old,Ed Jackson was told he would never walk again. After a miscalculated dive into a pool,he suffered multiple cardiac arrests,a broken neck and a partially severed spinal cord. Lying paralysed in intensive care,the former rugby player knew his life would never be the same. But he wasn't ready to give up hope.
Driven by relentless determination,Ed embarked on an incredible journey to independence. Millimetre by millimetre,he began to regain movement in his fingers and toes. Defying the expectations of even the most optimistic doctors,step by step,Ed began to walk again.
Fuelled by a renewed appreciation for life and a determination to help others suffering similar injuries to his own,Ed set his sights on a new challenge: mountaineering. Embarking on a gruelling climb to raise funds for a spinal unit in Kathmandu,Ed realises that,once again,the odds are stacked against him. Will he be able to overcome his own life-changing injury and transform others'lives for the better
