First quad to virtually summit Everest

Spinal Cord Injury (SCI)

Steven Dowd

Journey to the top of the World... on my stairs... during C-19 isolation

It’s been a crazy few years! In 2016, I fell from my bike and sustained a C3/4 incomplete spinal cord injury leaving me paralyzed from the neck down. I rolled through a series of challenges and achieved some ‘impossible wins’ over the next few years. In 2020, in full support of another quad (Ed Jackson), fellow Ambassador for SCI charity Wings for Life, I found myself on top of the World after having spent 36.5 hours walking 8848m (the vertical equivalent of summiting Mount Everest) up my stairs (3881 flights) for charity.

For those of you who don't know me, my name is Steven and I am a keynote speaker specializing in Challenge, Forced Change and Crisis Resilience.
