I am sad to announce that Glenn passed away aged 39 on 23rd September 2009 from complications following an operation to relieve pressure on his brain stem.
The operation came after spending much of the year in and out of hospital with suspected strokes, the real problem only being diagnosed a few weeks ago with the first operation performed on the 14th Sept.
Glenn will be fondly remembered by his many friends around the world as someone who never let his medical condition get in the way of his lust for adventure and desire to explore the wild far-flung corners of the earth.
As can be seen from the expeditions listed below Glenn certainly wasn't afraid to push himself in order to achieve his goals.

Glenn has suffered from birth with a bone condition commonly known
as 'Brittle Bones' and has been confined to a wheelchair all of
his life. He knows that even a simple fall could cripple him for
life or kill him outright.
Glenn has turned a rather run of the mill Land Rover into a custom
built home from home with the capabilities of taking Glenn to the
ends of the earth and back again.
Glenn uses a variety of specialist wheelchair to get him about.
He used a unique Swiss-built 'Everest Wheelchair' constructed by
Invacare/Küschall on his recent Everest expedition.
