From tragedy to triumph, this is an inspirational story of overcoming adversity. At just 28, Ed Jackson faced a life-altering moment after a miscalculated dive left him with multiple cardiac arrests, a broken neck, and a partially severed spinal cord. Confined to intensive care and told he would never walk again, Ed refused to succumb to despair. Driven by unwavering determination, he embarked on a remarkable journey toward independence. Gradually, he regained movement in his fingers and toes, defying even the most optimistic doctors. Step by step, Ed began to walk again, fueled by a newfound appreciation for life and a desire to assist others facing similar challenges. With a focus on mountaineering, Ed set out on a demanding climb to raise funds for a spinal unit in Kathmandu. Once more, he confronted daunting odds. Will he conquer his life-changing injury and make a difference in the lives of others? This narrative illustrates how Ed faced the impossible when hope seemed lost, offering a powerful message about resilience and the ability to overcome life's greatest challenges. Lucky was a Sunday Times bestseller in the week of August 9, 2021.
