BATH, England - Quadriplegic former professional rugby player Ed Jackson has scaled the height of Mount Everest by hauling himself up and down the stairs of his parents’ house and raised more than 41,000 pounds for charity.
The 31-year-old, who suffered a spinal cord injury three years ago, completed his target on Friday to raise money for charity and Britain’s National Health Service. “I loved it despite it being painful, monotonous and boring at times but most of the time it’s been a lot of fun. Seeing the fund raised going way past what we dreamed it would has been inspiring.”
