His adventures range from being the first and only person to circumnavigate both the North and South Pole, the first to cross the Antarctic and Arctic Ocean, the scaling of Everest at the age of 65, and cutting off his own frostbitten fingers.

Also speaking at the Gala Dinner will be Peter Hillary, son of Sir Edmund Hillary, an explorer and philanthropist in his own right.

The writer, comedian, satirist, and documentary-maker Te Radar will be the Master of Ceremonies.

Musical entertainment on the evening will be provided by talented young musicians from the University of Waikato.
