Today’s guest is a man whose inner strength, resolve and desire to help other people are as deeply engrained within him as the great mountains he scales are high.

This week on Talking in the Dark Evie speaks with adventurer, Millimetres 2 Mountains charity founder, broadcaster and author Ed Jackson.

In today’s episode Evie talks with Ed and learns all about the life changing accident that ended a very rewarding career as a professional rugby player and the significant physical and mental challenges he faced learning to adapt to the injuries he suffered. Ed also describes the purpose he now finds in helping others deal with their own trauma through the work he does with his charity Millimetres 2 Mountains, and the great enjoyment he also gets from broadcasting for the BBC on sporting events such as the Paralympic games in Paris.

This was a wonderful conversation with a remarkable guest and we thank Ed greatly for his time and personal insights.
