Top of the World - Surviving the Manchester Bombing to Scale Kilimanjaro in a Wheelchair
Author(s): Martin Hibbert; Fiona Duffy
Biography | RSO PLUS Oct 2024 Non-Fiction
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.
