How do you rebuild your life when a split second changes everything forever?
Darren Edwards was an experienced climber, adventurer, and thrill-seeker when a rock collapse at a cliff face called World's End sent him falling 350 feet, breaking his back and leaving him paralysed from the chest down.
What followed is one of the most extraordinary stories of resilience, reinvention, and raw human courage you'll ever hear. In this conversation, Darren takes us from that terrifying moment on the cliff face and the best friend who threw himself on top of Darren to stop him falling to his death. Through the heartbreak of rehabilitation, the pursuit of Paralympic glory, and the record-breaking expeditions that followed; including kayaking 1400km from Land's End to John O'Groats and attempting to sit-ski to the South Pole.
Darren is living proof that adversity isn't the end of the story. It can be the beginning of an even greater one.
