    Story

    Our friend Martin and his daughter Eve suffered horrific and life changing injuries in the recent Manchester Arena attack. They were 10 metres away from the bomb when it detonated. Martin suffered 22 shrapnel wounds from the nuts and bolts from the explosion, which basically entered his body from head to toe. One of the bolts entered through his neck, destroyed a main artery and then passed through his throat, at which point he swallowed it. He needed 16 pints of blood before he reached the intensive care unit and has had several long operations to remove the shrapnel and at first they didn’t think he was going to survive.

    The bolt that caused the most damage lodged in his spine and has left him with a T10 spinal injury which means he is now paralysed from the waist down. He was in the trauma unit at Salford Royal until the end of June and was then in a spinal rehab centre in Southport where he was until the end of September.

    Martin has been busy putting his story out there in the media with a series of moving and inspirational articles, such as this one published in The Times. You may also have seen him on the very moving ITV documentary 'Manchester: 100 Days After the Attack',
