Ewen Riddick was 18 months away from an honours degree. But a dive into the waves on a Portuguese beach put an end to those hopes. The waves hid a sandbank and Ewen's neck was broken. Total paralysis looked inevitable. He entered Stoke Mandeville Hospital on a stretcher. He was determined to leave on his feet.
