Matt Edwards managed to reach the highest peak in Wales and descend in less than six hours while raising money for charity.
Matt Edwards, who lost his leg five years ago in an accident, used crutches to reach the peak of the highest mountain in Wales, in what he described as"mentally and physically the hardest thing" he has ever done.
Mr Edwards was raising money for the charity Sands - the Stillbirth and Neonatal Death Society - which supports anyone affected by the death of a baby. He said that he turned to alcohol and drugs due to a lack of support at the time before spending a few weeks in rehab in 2019 and turning his life around with a newly-discovered love of keeping fit.
The route he had taken was a challenging one called the Pyg Track - one which the National Park itself describes as"a rocky and difficult path with several steep climbs".Mr Edwards said his body was telling him to"give in and give up" but added that his mind would not let him.'No leg, no excuse'
