Glen_I Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 @Paul Hurdsfield - Joint Manchester AO do keep the updates coming! I've just subscribed to Dan's YouTube channel. Truly inspirational. What's already hit me is that when you see 'celebrities' doing these type of events you just know they have some kind of back up in the medical sense as well as support crews (I could be wrong of course). What does Dan have??? His strong determination and what he has packed with him?? I'm sure there are a fair few of us who would've loved to have the balls to do something like this in our younger days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Hurdsfield - Joint Manchester AO Posted July 14, 2023 Author Share Posted July 14, 2023 Thanks Glen, Dan is only 23, when he was growing up he was one of the quietist most unassuming kids, half the time you didn’t know he was there, never in our wildest dreams could we have imagined that would attempt something like this. I was talking to his Dad (wife’s second youngest brother) this morning and told him Dan was my new hero 😎 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
