Adventurer and Endurance Athlete

At 20, Stephanie ran from Canberra to Sydney, covering more than a marathon a day for seven straight days and raising funds to build a computer and science lab for a school in rural Nepal. At 21, she became one of the youngest Australians to ski across Greenland, hauling a sled weighing more than 60 kilograms across 580 kilometres of ice in a month. Those are the stories. But the talks are about the useful part: the mental and emotional hurdles behind the physical ones, and how anyone can work through their own. Gold Coast based, she speaks at corporate events, schools and after dinner functions, and needs only a microphone, projector and screen.
