Alex is a record-breaking adventurer, inspirational speaker, author, award-winning fundraiser and charity founder, who is no stranger to overcoming challenges. At 28, Alex has already overcome more than many will in a lifetime. As a teenager he survived the two most significant disasters in Mount Everest history in two consecutive years. However, his biggest mountains have been within epilepsy, bullying, mental ill health and a lifelong stammer. Alex never allowed this to become his identity – only his experience. Re-framing adversity as an opportunity for growth has given him a new mission: to help others achieve their own ‘Everest’.
