Story

I am joining the Martin's Mountain team led by Martin Hibbert with the aim of summiting Kilimanjaro. Following Martin’s injury after the Manchester arena bombing, I was his physiotherapist providing acute rehabilitation on the Major Trauma Ward at Salford Royal. Martin had to learn to sit, transfer from bed to chair and use a wheelchair. This is usually a gradual and challenging process but his motivated personality coupled with sharing large amounts of Giant Haribo Strawberries saw him quickly overcome the initial challenges. Martin’s progress in his early recovery was amazing; I have no doubt with this same determination he will summit Kilimanjaro. Martin’s Mountain aim is to raise awareness of barriers faced by wheelchair users and raise money to ensure that other people have the same access and support to achieve a fulfilled life. Martin is an inspiration!
