A
Ed was a professional football player, but in 2017 he had an accident in a swimming pool. After that, he couldn't move his body from the shoulders down.
Doctors told him that he'd probably never walk again, but Ed didn't want to believe this. He had recently got engaged to the woman who is now his wife and he said that she was the main reason he wanted to get better. He spent six days staring at his toes and trying to make them move—and, finally, he succeeded! This was the start of a long journey.
While in hospital, Ed met Paul, a man in his late thirties. Doctors had also told Paul he would never walk again, but Ed encouraged him not to give up and six months later, Paul told Ed he was walking with a stick.
Only a year after his accident, Ed climbed the highest mountain in Wales. Since then he has also climbed a 6,500-metre mountain in Nepal, and he said that after each big climb he noticed his body could do new movements.
Two years later, 31-year-old Ed climbed 8,848 metres, the height of the world's highest mountain, by going up and down his parents' stairs 2,783 times. When he finished, he told a news reporter he had loved it although it sometimes was "painful" and "boring". He also raised £46,000 for charity.
Ed hoped his story could help people. That's why he started his own charity, M2M, which aims to support people facing challenges in life.

### 文章部分
埃德曾是一名职业足球运动员，但在2017年，他在一个游泳池里出了意外。从那以后，他的肩膀以下的身体部位都无法活动了。
医生告诉他，他可能再也无法行走了，但埃德不愿相信这一点。他最近和现在的妻子订了婚，他说妻子是他想要康复的主要原因。他花了六天时间盯着自己的脚趾，努力让它们动起来，最终，他成功了！这是一段漫长旅程的开始。
在医院期间，埃德遇到了保罗，一个快四十岁的男人。医生也告诉保罗他再也不能走路了，但埃德鼓励他不要放弃。六个月后，保罗告诉埃德，他已经能拄着拐杖走路了。
意外发生仅一年后，埃德就爬上了威尔士的最高峰。从那以后，他还爬上了尼泊尔一座6500米高的山，他说每次爬完一座大山后，他都发现自己的身体能做出新的动作。
两年后，31岁的埃德通过在父母家的楼梯上上下走2783次，“攀登”了8848米（世界最高峰的高度）。当他完成时，他告诉一名新闻记者，尽管这有时很“痛苦”、很“无聊”，但他很喜欢这样做。他还为慈善事业筹集了46000英镑。
埃德希望他的故事能帮助到人们。这就是他创办自己的慈善机构“M2M”的原因，该机构旨在帮助那些在生活中面临挑战的人。
