British former police officer Swasie Turner abseils for charity in a wheelchair down
British former police officer Swasie Turner abseils for charity in a wheelchair down the fortification bastions of Valletta, Malta, April 27, 2015. Turner has wheeled himself more than 38, 000 miles and raised over 1 million for charity since 1997 after losing his wife to cancer, according to local media. The traumatic loss came months after he was confined to a wheelchair when he was deliberately run down by a motorcycle while on duty as a police officer.

This incredible act is not just a thrilling adventure but also a charitable endeavor as Turner is raising funds for a noble cause. Turner's determination and resilience are truly remarkable. Since 1997, he has wheeled himself an astounding distance of over 38,000 miles and managed to raise more than 1 million for charity. His motivation stems from the devastating loss of his wife to cancer shortly before he was confined to a wheelchair due to an intentional motorcycle collision during his duty as a police officer. This photograph captures the essence of Turner's indomitable spirit as he defies limitations and pushes boundaries. The backdrop of Valletta's historic fortifications adds depth to the image, symbolizing both strength and endurance. Through this extraordinary feat, Turner serves as an inspiration not only to those with physical disabilities but also to anyone facing adversity in their lives. His unwavering commitment towards making a positive impact on society showcases the power of human resilience and compassion.
