Adventureman, Author, Motivational Speaker. If anybody holds the secret to resilience, it’s Adventureman. Having overcome debilitating and life-threatening childhood illnesses to conquer monumental physical and mental challenges in a bid to give back to those that helped him, the real-life superhero knows what it means to keep going against the odds. Adventureman – real name Jamie McDonald – has raised more than £1 million pounds to help sick kids around the world. His challenges include having cycled 14,000 miles around the world on a rusty old push bike, as well as completing two historic cross-country runs. In 2014, Jamie ran 200 solo marathons across Canada – a marathon a day, most days, battling temperatures as low as -45C, which he likes to point out contributed to a frost-bitten nose and losing a portion of the end of it! His second running adventure was a 210 solo marathon challenge across America, dodging monsoons, rattlesnakes and a mountain lion as he darted around as many children’s hospitals as he could fit in. If that wasn’t enough, Jamie is the owner of two of the toughest and most gruelling endurance Guinness World Records on the planet. He cycled for 12 days non-stop on a static bike in 2012, and recently spent 7 days on a treadmill, surviving on less than 3 hours of sleep a night. He covered the greatest distance ever achieved by a human in that time; a distance of more than 524 miles. That’s 3 marathons a day – a total of 20 marathons – back-to-back. Having put his mind and body in and pushing beyond painful places few will ever experience, Jamie is keen to share his story to show us what drives humans, no matter what, to keep going.
