Episode Synopsis

While rock climbing in North Wales, Darren Edwards fell nearly 100 feet, paralyzing him from the chest down with a severe spinal cord injury. He credits his best friend’s quick thinking for saving his life on the day of the accident, when, in a split-second decision, his friend jumped after him.

Darren shares his experience recovering from the accident, what it was like to lose a relationship close to him, and how his best friend saved him even after the incident. He also discusses his transition into his next adventure and his plan to set a new world record by completing the most extended sit-ski expedition in polar exploration history to raise money for a cure for Spinal Cord Injuries.
