speaking


Becoming 'known' as an endurance athlete and becoming a world champion gives you a platform, a responsibility and an incredible opportunity.  If - through my stories of mountains, explorations and running - I can reach out to people, to inspire them in some small way, then it gives it a deeper meaning.  If - through talking about our environment and climate change - I can draw attention to our responsibility of working towards social and environmental responsibility, then we can start to hope.  This is my dream.  


ACHIEVEMENT - CHALLENGE - OPPORTUNITY - DEDICATION - ENDURANCE 

THE ANTARCTIC - ENVIRONMENT - CLIMATE CHANGE

n the ordinary you can find the extraordinary


    for schools, charities, organisations and corporate events



If you are interested in a talk, speech or presentation please do get in touch to discuss how I can help you.  I would be happy to tailor something specifically to what you require - from motivation and endurance, to specific stories of mountain or running exploratioins, to the Antarctic, the environment and climate change - or some combination!

Please contact me for further information.
