Shaping the World - Turia Pitt - Digital

How far would you go to survive?

In 2011, 24-year-old Turia Pitt was trapped by an out-of-control bushfire during a 100-kilometre ultramarathon.

Despite suffering burns to 65% of her body and undergoing over 200 operations, Turia refused to give up. Choosing happiness over anger, she not only learned to walk again but went on to compete in the Ironman World Championships.

Today, Turia is a world-renowned author and motivational speaker who has coached over 40,000 people to reach their goals. Her message is simple: “Never give up. You can do anything you want simply by never giving up!”
