But fifty years ago, only 1 people had ever made it to the top. In 2006, a man named Mark Inglis reached the summit of Mount Everest. 2 made his climb so special was that Mark didn't have any legs.Before Mark, there was another man from New Zealand named Edmund Hillary 3 reached the top of Everest in 1953. But Mark's achievement was even more amazing 4 he did it without legs. Other disabled climbers had climbed Everest before, but Mark's climb was really incredible. He wore special artificial legs that were made just for him, but it still took a lot of strength and effort to reach the top.When Mark was asked why he wanted to climb Everest, he said it was because he loved climbing and had always dreamed of reaching the top. He lost his legs when he was in his twenties, but that didn't stop him from pursuing his passion. 5 he faced a big challenge, he never gave up on his dream.Not only did Mark achieve his personal goal, but he also climbed Everest to raise money for disabled people in Tibet and other poor countries. He wanted to provide artificial arms and legs to those who need them. Mark believed that there is not enough help and support for disabled people in these countries, and he wanted to make a difference.So not only was Mark's climb a big accomplishment for him, but it also meant hope and support for others.
