Martin Hibbert ready to climb Mount Kilimanjaro for charity | Bradford Telegraph and Argus

A MAN who was paralysed in the Manchester Arena bombing says he is ready for the ‘blood, sweat and tears’ as he gears up to climb Mount Kilimanjaro for charity. Martin Hibbert, 44, who used to live in Wibsey, was paralysed from the waist down when he and his teenage daughter were among the hundreds injured in the terror attack on May 22, 2017. He is now planning to take a Paralympic torch from the London Games to the top of Africa’s highest mountain in September and hopes to raise £1 million for the Spinal Injuries Association. Mr Hibbert will use a custom-built handbike for the seven to 10-day challenge, which he said he was inspired to do after learning only one in three people with spinal cord injuries receive treatment at specialist centres.
