Ed was a professional football player, but in 2017 he had an accident in a swimming pool. After that, he couldnt move his body from the shoulders down.
Doctors told him that hed probably never walk again, but Ed didnt want to believe this. He had recently got engaged(订婚) 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(脚趾) 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-meter 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 meters, the height of the worlds 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 hopes his story can help people. Thats why he started his own charity, which aims to support “people facing challenges in life”. (2024江西)

Kids who took part in community service were 34% more likely to be in good physical health than those who didnt, the study found. And those who volunteered were 66% more likely to be considered doing well in general. Kids aged 12 and older who volunteered were 25% less likely to have anxiety(焦虑) than those who didnt. The findings come from survey data(数据) provided by the parents of 50,000 kids in the United States aged 6 to 17. 2.

But a parent might not know if their children experience anxiety or consider themselves to be healthy. 3. It can only uncover connections. So its impossible to say for sure that volunteering leads to better mental and physical health.
