A journey from the depths of major health challenges to the heights of the Himalayas and what he has learnt along the way

Many of us are having to come to terms with a new normal as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic and its ongoing economic and societal impact. How do we build resilience so we can thrive in less than ideal circumstances while facing a very uncertain future?

Nick grew up climbing, tramping and cycling until he was told that he had primary progressive multiple sclerosis and at age 23 found himself living in a wheelchair. He decided to fight back and through the support of his family, friends and faith in Christ, changed his diet and lifestyle and in 2015 summited Island Peak (6,189 metres) in the Himalayas. Nick runs Mastering Mountains Charitable Trust and is passionate about helping people living with MS and Functional Neurological Disorder to overcome obstacles that prevent them from getting outdoors.

Come and hear Nick speak about how to build resilience when life throws the unexpected at you.
