Meet Ed Jackson, the paralysed rugby pro who now climbs mountains.
In 2017, ex-professional rugby player Ed Jackson was enjoying a bbq at a family friends' house when he suffered a fate that would change the course of his life forever. He'd dived into his friend's swimming pool, crashing his head at the bottom – an impact so severe that the disk between his C6 and C7 vertebrae (the two at the bottom of the neck) had exploded and dislocated, cutting through half of his spinal cord. He was told he would never be able to walk again.
Ed reveals how he resolved to take his fate into his own hands – using the power of his mind to revive his dormant body. And it was through such a strategy – of his mind leading his body – that Ed carved out a new identity for himself as a quadriplegic climber – as well as a new life committed to helping people through the mountains.
Ed Jackson is an ambassador for Wings for Life.
