Summary

‘What a story and what an inspirational human. Ed is a total legend.’ Joe Wicks 
‘A life-affirming story . . . inspirational’ Tim Peake 
As seen in the Daily Mail 
From tragedy to triumph, one step at a time – an inspirational story of triumph over adversity against the odds 
At just 28 years old, Ed Jackson was told he would never walk again. After a miscalculated dive into a pool, he suffered multiple cardiac arrests, a broken neck and a partially severed spinal cord. Lying paralysed in intensive care, the former rugby player knew his life would never be the same. But he wasn’t ready to give up hope. 
Driven by relentless determination, Ed embarked on an incredible journey to independence. Millimetre by millimetre, he began to regain movement in his fingers and toes. Defying the expectations of even the most optimistic doctors, step by step, Ed began to walk again. 
Fuelled by a renewed appreciation for life and a determination to help others suffering similar injuries to his own, Ed set his sights on a new challenge: mountaineering. Embarking on a gruelling climb to raise funds for a spinal unit in Kathmandu, Ed realises that, once again, the odds are stacked against him. Will he be able to overcome his own life-changing injury and transform others’ lives for the better? 
Lucky is the story of how Ed faced the impossible when it seemed all hope was lost, and shows how you, too, can overcome the biggest challenges that life sends your way. 
Lucky was a Sunday Times bestseller in the w/b August 9th 2021 
In Lucky, Ed Jackson's personal journey of overcoming disabilities is a testament to his relentless determination. This Sunday Times bestselling book is a motivational autobiography that will inspire you to face your own challenges head-on.
