Manchester Arena survivor scattered victim’s ashes on Kilimanjaro

Mr Hibbert, from Tong Moor in Bolton, has released a book detailing his experience of the attack which caused him a “life changing, but not life ending” spinal injury.

The book talks about his recovery, and the journey to climb Mount Kilimanjaro.

He reached the top in an adapted wheelchair while raising money for the Spinal Injuries Association.

Writing the book was “very cathartic”, but “I had to revisit some really tough times”, he said.

“I’ve never been angry, because that’s what they want, and I am certainly not going to have terrorists telling me what to say and what do think.

“They don’t want me climbing Kilimanjaro and reflecting positivity.

“It was an awful night but I want it to be a catalyst for change and spread positivity and love.”
